LOVE ME, LOVE YOU

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:  I've used a beautiful tube by Keith Garvey.  You must not use his artwork without first purchasing a license to do so.  You may purchase the tube and a license at PTE

Mask of Choice:  I used a mask labeled 49 by Kris.  I'm not sure who this belongs too and I have not included any supplies.  If you don't have the mask, just use another of your choosing.

Scrap Kit:  I used a beautiful PTU scrap kit from Mirella called Love Me, Love You.  You can find out where to purchase this kit by visiting Mirella at A Space Between.

Font of Choice:  I used a font called Unnamed Melody which I believe is a FTU font.

Template:  I used Template 448 from Missy at Divine Intentionz.  You can download it HERE.

Filters:  Xero porcelain
