Beautiful In May FTU

Beautiful In May

I used the wonderful artwork called Celine by Verymany which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase this tube at Verymany Tubes here

I am using a awesome FTU scrapkit called MayFlower by Pam's Scraps & More which can be found here

Font of Choice  

Mask of Choice I used WSL255 (Weescotlass) 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!!
