Supplies
1 tube of choice - I used the wonderful artwork of Joanna Bromley which can be purchased from PSP Tube Stop. You must have a license to use. The elf and robin in this tutorial are on seperate layers of the tube and the kit and tube can be purchased together for a fantastic savings only at PSP Tube Stop.
Font of choice - I used Coneria Script here
Gem Mask 55 here
"Northern Exposure" is a tagger size scrap kit created by me and can be purchased from any of my stores here.
This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP.

Tap the delete key.
