Ho Ho Ho PTU

Ho Ho Ho
I used the wonderful artwork by PinUpToons called Holiday Goodies which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase this tube from CDO which can now be found here 
I am using a beautiful scrapkit called Tinsel Town which is PTU by  Crazy Creative Scraps and can be found at CDO here 
Font of Choice 
Mask of Choice I used Gemmasks192 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!!


Open a new image 800 X 800 pixels with a transparent background.  You can resize later to meet your needs.
Copy & paste paper4 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)
