Island Adventure

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 Alicia Mujica (CDO Exclusive 5A) 

which you need a license to use.

This tube is a CDO Exclusive tube, one of several she has there. You can ONLY find it at CDO.

Here is where you can find all her CDO exclusives.

You can find all her other tubes at her site here. 

Scrap kit of choice. I am using a PTU kit by Scrappin' With Lil Ole Me called Island Adventures

Font of choice, I am using Aligot de Mirabelle

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.

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

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer
