Getting Ready for Christmas PTU

Getting Ready for Christmas

I used the wonderful artwork called Tis The Season by Deborah Grieves which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase this tube from The PSP Project  which can now be found here  

I am using a beautiful scrapkit called Its Christmas Time which is PTU by Creative Intentionz and can be found at The PSP Project here  

Font of Choice  

Mask of Choice I used WeeScotslass WSL220 which can be found here

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.

Let's get started!!

Open a new image 800 X 800 pixels with a transparent background.  You can resize later to meet your needs.

Copy & paste paper11 from the scrapkit onto your new image and apply your mask of choice. (Click layers, load save mask, make sure fit to canvas, source luminance and hide all mask is checked then click load)

In layers right click on mask hit delete and answer yes to the popup. Now right click on group layermerge merge group.  Resize by 107%
