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).
 
 ~Secret Garden PTU scrapkit by Jackie's Jewels which you can find HERE.

 ~The artwork of VeryMany, you must have a license to use this art which you can get HERE.

~Mask of choice. I used WSL mask 276 which you can find HERE.

~Font of choice. I used dearJoe4.

Let's get started!!!!!

3. Open Paper 2, center behind frame, remove excess paper using a cutting tool or eraser.
