Lottsa Sweet Love

This tutorial was written by me on April 28, 2010 using PSP 9.  All my tutorials assume you have some working knowledge of PSP and/or Animation Shop.

Supplies:

 

4 tubes of choice - I'm using the beautiful ladies of Ismael Rac.  You can purchase his tubes/license at Artistic Minds.

Scrap Kit - I'm using a great PTU kit from Alika's Scraps called "Sweet Choco".  Visit her blog to find out where you can purchase this awesome kit.

Mask of choice

Font of choice - I'm using Precious which you can find here.

 

Filters - Xero Porcelain
