Peppermint Whip

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 Ismael Rac, which you need a license to use.  

this is a limited tube that was done for one of his daily specials, so it may not be in the store 

Scrap kit of choice. I am using  a PTU Peppermint Cutie 2 by Amy Marie  

Font of choice, I am using  Kenan & Kel

Mask: Vix Big mask 1

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 29 copy and paste as a new layer 

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

open paper 5 copy and paste as a new layer click delete on your keyboard

leave selected, open your tube, copy and paste as a new layer, resize 45% arrange in the frame, take your eraser tool and erase the parts of the legs that hang over the frame
