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).

~Susie's Seashore PTU scrapkit by A Taggers Scrap.

~Tube of choice. I used the artwork of Baron Von Lind, you must have a license to use this art which you can now find HERE.

~Mask of choice. I used WSL mask 84 which you can get HERE.

~Font of choice. I used Pink Clouds Medium.

Let's get started!!!!!

3. Open Paper 21 center it behind Frame 10, remove excess paper using a cutting tool or eraser.
