PTU Tutorial ~ Mardi Gras Party +FREEBIE Snags!
**This tutorial is my own creation, from my own imagination. Any similarities are completely coincidental!**
Tutorial written using PSP9, but should easily convert to other versions!
Supplies
Scrap Kit: I am using the vibrant, fun kit "Mardi Gras Party" from Pink Paradox Productions. You can pick up this awesome kit of 170 Elements, 20 Frames & 50 Papers HERE.
Tube: I'm using the beautiful artwork of VeryMany, called "Mask." You can pick up this gorgeous, multi-layered tube HERE. Please do not use this artwork without the proper license.
Mask: I am using MPM_Mask14 from Millie's PSP Madness. You can find this mask HERE.
Font: Keeping with the Mardi Gras theme, I used the font "Bourbon" which you can find HERE.
Plugins: Eye Candy 4000: Glass and Eye Candy 4000: Gradient Glow (optional for text)
