Love at First Sight

Supplies

1 tube of choice - I used the wonderful artwork of Mitzi Sato-Wiuff which can be purchased from PSP Tube Stop.  Because this kit was created just for this tube you can get a great package deal (tube and kit) at a great price!  You must have a license to use.

Font of choice - I used Dinosaur Jr. here

Trese Mask 29 here

Plug Ins used:

Mura's Meister - Copies

Type your name but leave each letter of it on its own layer.

Choose a couple of the letters and resize them 80%

To each letter apply a slight Inner Bevel:

Arrange the letters however you like - Tip: Move the resized letters behind the larger letters.

Once all the letters are in position then merge visible all the letters of your name.

Copy and paste EL 73 as a new layer.

Resize as you like and place on your name.
