Dark Mood - PTU

In a Dark Mood
I used the wonderful artwork called Sweet Revenge by Dawn Obrecht which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase this tube from The PSP Project which can be found here 
 I am using a awesome scrapkit called Dark Mood which is PTU by Scrapper's Gone Bad and can be found at The PSP Project here 
Font of Choice 
Mask of Choice I used Weescotlass WSL260 which can be found here
Plugins Used:  Candy Eye4 Gradient Glow
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. I resize at the end by 75% to get a 600 X 600 tag
Copy & paste paper6 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.
