All Aboard the Santa Express FTU

All Aboard the Santa Express

I used the wonderful artwork of PinUp Toons which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase this tube from CDO which can now be found here  

I am using a beautiful scrapkit called Santa Express which is FTU by Scraps by Pam and can be found at Pam's Scraps & More 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 paper9 from the scrapkit onto your new image resize by 150% 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 layer merge merge group. 

Open branch copy & paste to your image and move to the top of your mask duplicate and move the duplicate just below the branch

Open lights copy & paste to your image and place on top of your branches

Open lights2 and copy & paste to your image and place on the bottom of your mask

Open sparkles copy & paste to your image and place on top of your branches

Open candle copy & paste to your image and place at the bottom of your window on the end of the string of lights

Open train copy & paste to your image and place across the top of your string of lights on the bottom

Open your tube of choice and copy & paste to your image resize as needed and place on the right side of your image in front of the tree and sitting on the end of the train

Add a dropshadow of choice to your tube penguin or anything you would like to!
