All Dressed Up For Christmas PTU

All Dressed Up for Christmas

I used the wonderful artwork called Little Flower by Caron Vinson 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 Holiday Hush which is PTU by Gimtastic Scraps and can be found at The PSP Project here  

Font of Choice  

Mask of Choice I used WeeScotslass WSL116 which can be found here

Plugins Used Xero Porcelain

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.
