Mother's Day

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 Ishika Chowdhury (Ma) which you need a license to use. 

This beautiful tube has 3 different layers with different dress colors.

Scrap kit of choice. I am using a PTU kit, Bright As Flowers by Black Widow Creationz

Font of choice, I am using Daisy Delights

Mask: of your choice

Plugins: No outside plugins
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.
