On my Way to Route 66 PTU

One my Way to Route 66

I used the wonderful artwork called Wishful Thinking by gIO which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase her tubes from The PSP Project which can now be found here
I am using a scrapkit called Boy Loves Girl by Amy Marie which is PTU  and can be purchased at The PSP Project here.
Font of Choice I used Aspire
Mask of Choice I used Weescotslass WSL218 these masks are Here 
Plugins used was xero soft vignette
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.
Copy & paste paper 6 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 pop up. Now right click on group layer merge merge group.
