My TOU and Some Info

Just a note about
my tuts I dont tell
all my secrets lol
like how I do the
glow on a name etc.
I also have no
control over the
FTU supplies
I am sorry but
sometimes the
kits are for a
limited time free
or just disappear,
I will share
masks etc ONLY
if the tou of
the creator allows,
You can easily find
another mask or kit
to use in place of
what I have used

Open a new image 750x750 and flood fill white,
I Like to have room to work, this is your choice,
My tuts are written using this size image
This tut I actually used 900x900 due to the shadow
on the elements I choose. so I would have room to
work and move them around without messing up
the shadow.

On this tut I used a color that matched my tubes for
my mask layer, (a red and a pinkish color) add a new
layer and fill with color of choice, resize this layer by
95% and apply a mask of choice, I used Vix_Bigmask008

I then used the deform tool to expand it out a bit, I resized it
by 80% and mirrored it, then duplicated and moved one up
to the left and one down towards the right,

Now lets open Natali_designs_xmas10add_frame1 c/p as a
new layer and resize by 30% and then rotate to the left by 6
Now grab your magic wand and click inside the frame and expand
by 9, invert, open natali_designs_xmas10add_paper6b resize by
