Elfie Fae

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 Derzi at Beehive Studio which you need a license to use. 

This tube is Elfie the Witch Pirate, and she has many choices for outfits, witch, pirate, fairy and you can even change up how each outfit looks as well.

Scrap kit of choice. I am using Elfie 1 by Tiny Turtle Designs, which was made to

match the fairy layer of Derzi's tube

Font of choice, I am using 2 Peas Giggle

Mask: Vix Big Mask 1 by VixPSPPlugins:
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

add the following elements:
element 21 resize  85% arrange in the center

element 22 resize  75% arrange behind and left of element 21, duplicate & mirror
