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).

~Vermilion PTU scrapkit by A Taggers Scrap.

 ~Tube of choice. I used the artwork of PinupToons, you must have a license to use this art which you can now get HERE.

~Font of choice. I used Trees of Happiness.

Let's get started!!!!!

3. Open Paper 12 center it behind Frame 1, remove excess paper using a cutting tool or eraser.

~Some elements may need to be sized down. Using the Scale Tool in your tool box adjust pixels to desired size~
