A working knowledge of PSP is assumed.
SUPPLIES NEEDED
Tube of choice. One with a close up works best.
I am using the adorable art of Sherri Baldy. I purchased my tubes from
a store that is no longer open. You can find some of her images at My Besties Shop.
Font used is called Flower(Bold)
NOTE: This tutorial is written for the supplies I used. If you are using something different, you may need to adjust some settings.
