Think Spring FTU

Think Spring

I used the wonderful artwork of Caron Vinson which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase her tubes from CDO which can now be found here

I am using a scrapkit called Spring Song which is FTU by Jens Sweet Temptations and can be found here  .

Font of Choice  

Mask of Choice  

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 3 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 layer
