This tutorial is of my own creation and any resemblance to any other tuts is purely coincidental. This tutorial is for personal use only, using it for monetary gain is against our TOU's.

Supplies Needed:

~Gimp (any version will do).

~Font of choice. I used DK Porcupine Pickle.

Let's get started!!!!!

3. Open Paper 3 center it behind Frame 3, remove excess paper using a cutting tool or eraser.
