Loves Zombies

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 Wendy Gerber (Zombie Chick tube) 

which you need a license to use. 

Scrap kit of choice. I am using a PTU kit, Cute But Deadly 1 by Toxic Desirez

Font of choice, I am using Rat Infested Mailbox

Mask: VixMaskHalloween0904 by Vix PSP

I don't see this particular mask on her blog anymore but she has a lot of 

Halloween masks here

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.
