PTU Tut ~ Autumn Spice + FREE Snags!!



**This tutorial is of my own creation, from my own imagination.  Any similarities are completely coincidental!**

Supplies:

Paint Shop Pro 9

Tube:  I am using the beautiful tube Eva by VeryMany.  You can purchase this beauty HERE.  Please do not use this tube without the proper licensing.

Kit:  I'm using the matching kit for Eva from PinkParadox Productions called "Autumn Spice."  You can pick up this awesome kit of 150 elements, 12 frames and 35 papers HERE.

Font:  For the copyright, I am using Arial.  For the name, I'm using the font "Authentic Hilton" that you can pick up HERE.

Mask:  I'm using the Mask Vix_BigMask005, which you can pick up HERE.
Plugins:

Eye Candy 4000
Xero: Porcelain
