Ready for My Closeup

Ready for My Closeup

I used the wonderful artwork called Debutante by Henning Ludvigsen which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase his tubes from The PSP Project which can now be found here  

I am using a scrapkit called Loving Life which is PTU by Abstract Creations and can be found at The PSP Project here  

Font of Choice  

Mask of Choice  WSL 255 (Weescotlass) which can be found here

Plugings used are Xero Soft Vignette  

The tut was written in Paint Shop Pro X4 but should work in others.

Note When I resize I use these settings: (make sure that pixel dimensions is on percent and in advanced setting it is smart size lock aspect ratio is checked and resize all layers is unchecked) also please save often and for placement on the tag you can always refer to the example tag if that helps.
