Do You Believe in Santa? FTU

Do You Believe in Santa?

I used the wonderful artwork called Christmas Time by Elias Chatzoudis which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase this tube from Elias which can now be found here  

I am using a  FTU scrapkit called Believe In Santa which can be found at Pam's Scraps & More here  

Font of Choice  

Mask of Choice I used WeeScotslass WSL128 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.

Let's get started!!
