Walk With Me

This tutorial was written by me on May 3, 2010 using PSP 9.  All my tutorials assume you have some working knowledge of PSP and/or Animation Shop.

Supplies:

Tube of choice - I'm using the beautiful art of Anna Marine.  You can purchase her tubes/license at Creative Minds.

Scrap Kit - I'm using a great PTU kit from Mystee of Intoxxikated Intentionz called "True Blood".  You can purchase this kit here.

Mask of choice

Font of choice - I'm using Morpheus which you can get from here.

To begin open up mask and tube in PSP and minimize for now - new image 700 x 700 white background
