Fairy Tales Tutorial

At the time I created this tutorial, all tubes, scrapkits, etc were
in working links. Sorry if the links no longer work
With scrapkits, if the link or site is missing, choose a similar scrapkit

I created this tut in PSPX4 (14) but it can be done
with any version of PSP. You need to have a good understanding of
your PSP program to do this tutorial.

This tag is made in two (2) parts, so bare with me.

You will need:
2 tubes  - I used tubes of ©Alex Prihadka
You can get his tubes from PicsForDesign (PFD)

HERE

But any tubes will do.
Scrapkit is called "Lust" Bel Vidotti Scraps

HERE

Mask #1 from Moonbeams & Spiderwebs

HERE

Font I used is called 'Mordred' from Urbanfonts.com

Open up the mask #1 & minimise it. Also open up the tubes you will be
using & set it aside.
