Garden Beauty PTU

Garden Beauty

I used the wonderful artwork called Neon Dragon by Lori Karels which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase this tube from The PSP Project  which can now be found here  

I am using a beautiful scrapkit called Fading Flora which is PTU by Abstract Creations and can be found at The PSP Project here  

Font of Choice  

Mask of Choice I used WSL mask 116 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!!
