Tut: The Power of Three

















The Power of Three

This tutorial was written by me on April 14, 2010 using PSP 9.  All my tutorials assume you have some knowledge of PSP and/or Animation Shop.
Supplies:

3 tubes - I'm using the beautiful art of Jessica Galbreth.  Do not use without a license.  You can get her tubes/license at CILM.

Scrap Kit - I'm using Charmed Pt. 1 Piper from Cazie's Designz.  You can purchase this kit here and stop by her blog to check out her other great kits!

Mask of Choice

Font - A Charming Font Expanded which you can download here.

Filters - Eye Candy 4 gradient glow

Dropshadow used 3,3,60,8 black

Open tubes & mask in PSP - minimize for now
