SQUEEZE

This tutorial was written for those with a working knowledge of PSP. I use version 9, but any version should work.

Supplies:

Tube of choice: You will need a close up tube. I'm using the artwork of Ismael Rac. You must not use his artwork without purchasing a license to do so. You may purchase a license HERE.

Template: I'm using an awesome template by Dee at Dees'Sign Depot that she created for me to use to make a tag and tutorial. You can download her fab template HERE.

Scrap Kit: I used two kits, both from Jill of Created by Jill. The first is a PTU kit called A Squeeze of Lime, which you can purchase HERE. I also used Jill's matching FTU A Squeeze of Lime Sampler, which you can get HERE. The download link is in the post with Dee's two awesome cluster frames.

Mask of Choice: I used Mask 109 by Vaybs of Designs by Vaybs which you can get HERE.

Font of Choice: I used AlexBrush which is a Rob font.
