PLEASE NOTE:
None of my tutorials or Scrap Kits are allowed to be used for any form of monetary gain.
This goes against the artists TOU that I use for my tuts and against my TOU.
This was written for PSP 9 but will work in other versions.
For this tutorial you will need:
Paint Shop Pro
A Font of your choice.
I used Dark Heart Script which is a Pay font but you could use A Quiet Scream which is available HERE.
5 Tubes of your choice.
Supplies
You will also need an oval frame of your choice, sorry I am unable to supply mine but any oval frame will do.
Mask
I am using Forum Mask 8 MB and SW from Moonbeams and Spiderwebs. Available Here
Why not download them all while you are there as they are great. Unzip and place in your mask folder.
PlugIns
Mura Meister - Cloud - Here
Penta.com - Color Dot - Here - scroll down to where it reads color dot Win/Mac
Toadies - What Are You? - I have included it Here as their official site is down. Place it in your PSP Plugins folder. If it doesn't work a google search for Toadies - What Are You? filter will give you a site where you can download it.
Ok we are ready to start.
