PTU Tutorial ~ Autumns' Evening + FREE Snags




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

This tutorial was written in PSP9, but should easily transfer to other versions

Supplies:

Kit:  I am using the stunning kit "Autumn's Evening" by Jackie's Jewels.  This is one of my "go to" kits when I'm just playing around in PSP - I just love the colors!! You can pick up this amazing kit, along with all of Jackie's other kits from her store HERE.

Tube:  I'm using the tube "Coming Untied" ©Barbara Jensen.  This was a bonus tube that was offered, but she has so many amazing tubes.  Check out her store HERE.  Please do not use her work without the proper license!

Mask:  I'm using RR_MaskSet11_3 by Rocked by Rachel.  You can find this mask set HERE.

Font:  I'm using "Birds of Paradise" font.  You can find it HERE.

Plugin:  Eye Candy 4000: Gradient Glow
