Photobucket


This tutorial was written by diane knight on 8th march 2010 using PSP 9

For this tut I am using the fantastic artwork of Jay Trembly
you can purchase his tubes from UYA.

a nice texture i used Texture_006 from ArtPlusLove HERE
2 MASK'S needed 1 from Vixpsp - Vix_Mask395 from her site HERE
and 1 from Weescotlass mask 116- HERE
Flaming Pear - Flood plugin HERE

HANDY TIP FOR NEWBIES BELOW

if you would like to save as a tranparent background, which is useful for forums etc, so you dont get the white background, simply delete the white background layer and save as a .png file instead. :)
