Say What?

This tutorial was written by me on August 23 using PSP X4. All my tutorials assume you have some working knowledge of PSP and/or Animation Shop.

Supplies:

Tube of choice - I'm using one by Kiwifire Storm.  You need a license to use his work.  You can purchase tubes/license HERE.

Scrap Kit - I'm using a great kit by MistyLynn's Creations called "Emo What".  Visit her blog HERE to find out where to purchase this kit.

Mask - I'm using mask 454 from Insatiable Dreams.  You can download this mask HERE.

Font - I'm using Sick Capital Vice

Filter - Alien Skin Xenofex 2 Constellation

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