FlowerGirl

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.


Mask edge canvas 02
I've had this mask so long, I have no idea who made it.


Font used is called Flower(Bold)

IPL = In Palette Layers

NOTE: Always remember to delete the tube layer after filling, unless otherwise stated.
