This tag features Patty of Honored Scraps PTU kit "Resolutions". You can find this kit at Your Scrap Addiction in Honored Scraps shop.  Also featuring "Black Dress" by the talented Ismael Rac. This tube is FTU and a license is required. This is a multi layer tube. I will use both layers.

Aside from the kit and tube above, for this tutorial you will need the following supplies:

Colors should be black in both your foreground and background. Apply text and move to bottom left of tag just below our tubes legs. Go to Layers>convert to raster. You will need your text in raster layer before you can move on.

Any resemblance to any other tutorial is purely coincidental. I am using a PTU kit so no 

supplies will be provided only links to supplies I a using.

PSP Version used: 9, but should work in other versions and 

this tutorial assumes you have a good working knowledge of PSP.

Supplies Needed

Scrapkit of your choice, I am using "Almost Wonderland" by Melissa of WDDesignz 

Amazing kit!! I had so much fun with this kit. The elements and papers in this kit are just adorable.

You can find this kit at I Got Lucky Skraps and Thanks Melissa for allowing me to use your kit.  

No tube was added to this tag but feel free to do so in creating your own.

Mask used is WSL#75
