For this tutorial you will need the following:
Paint Shop Pro, I am using PSP X, you should be able to use any version.
Tube of choice, I am using the artwork of Keith Garvey, which you need a license to use.
Scrap kit of choice. I am using City Bling by Inzpired Creationz
available at Pimp My Tags With Scraps
Font of choice, I am using Razing
Plugins: Alien Skin 4000 Shadow Lab - use on whatever elements you like & your tube
I used the following setting on my elements
direction 315
then top to bottom:
28.80
100
20.16

black
Just remember that my choices of papers and elements is just a suggestion, change it up and make it yours! You don't have to follow mine exactly.
Let's get started!
