The Curse PTU

The Curse

I used the wonderful artwork called Curse of the Raven  by Tatjana which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase her tubes from The PSP Project which can now be found here

I am using a awesome scrapkit called Cursed by Tasha's Playground which can be purchased at The PSP Project here

Font of Choice  

Mask of Choice I used WSL (Weescoslass) Mask 3

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