Rustic Fae Tutorial
**As with a lot of my tutorials, I use free scrap kits from a lot of different scrap kit makers.
I do include the link to the site/page those scrap kits can be obtained from, but sometimes
those scrap kits become no longer available or the site closes. When this happens, I do endeavor
to add a new link, but if I don't, please use another scrap kit of your choice that is almost
the same as the one that I used in my tutorials. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.**
You will need:
Tube - I am using one of Sue MIllers lovely fairies
You need to be a registered member of MyTagArt to purchase
Sue's tubes HERE - ©suemIllerart.com
but any fairy tube will do.
Scrap kit called 'Rustiko' from Jaelop Designs
HERE
This scrap kit is full size so there will be a fair bit of resizing.
I work in Bicubic when I resize.
Font I used is called 'Monika Italic'

Mask 167 from WeeScottLass Creations

Copy & paste a paper from scrap kit as a new layer (the paper is very large, so we need
