Roller Skull

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  Arthur Crowe, (Roller Skull Candy) which you need a license to use.  This tube is coming soon to Arthur's store and will be in the store within a day or two of this tut being posted.

Scrap kit of choice. I am using the matching PTU kit by Desirena Designs, which will also be available in Arthur's store when the tube is released. 

Font of choice, I am using Crazy Rascals

Plugins: No outside plugins used

I do use Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow on all my copyrights/credits layers

I do this because some forums will make a .png tag show up with a black background and then your

copyright doesn't show. 

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.

Add a drop shadow of your choosing to tubes & elements throughout. I usually use 1, 1, 50, 5 unless otherwise noted.

Let's get started!

Open a new canvas 850 x 850 pixels with a white background

open element 27 copy and paste as a new layer 

click inside with your magic wand, selections, modify, expand 2, selections, invert

open paper 8 copy and paste as a new layer, click delete on your keyboard

Open your medium sized tube, copy and paste as a new layer, resize 75% arrange in front of the frame, erase the bits of legs that are below the frame
