Daisy Fairy


Supplies Needed

1 tube of choice – I used the wonderful artwork of Mitzi Suto-Wiuff which can be purchased from PSPTube Stop.  You must have a license to use.

Font of choice – I used O Race Car Casual here

Weescotlass Mask 208 here

Carez Creationz Template 28 here
 This template shows on her blog as Template 28, but when downloaded
It will show up in a folder that says Template 107 and the template is named the same as well.

 “Pastel” is a FTU tagger size scrap kit created by Digi Mania Scraps and can be downloaded from her blog here.  Please leave a thank you after downloading.  Kind, appreciative words go a long way.
  
This tutorial was written assuming you have working knowledge of PSP. 

~~ Let’s get started ~~

Open up the template.
Shift + D.
Close out the original.
Delete the credit layer and Autumn layer.

Color Pallet:

Highlight Dots layer.
Make your Color Replacer Tool active and double click on the dots on your working canvas.
The dots should have changed to a green shade.
Copy and paste Brad 3 as a new layer.
Resize 10%
Duplicate 8 times for a total of 9 and place a brad over every third dot – see my tag for reference.

Highlight Gray Rect layer.
Click on it with your Magic Wand.
New Raster layer.
Copy and paste Paper 5 Into Selection.

Deselect.
DO NOT DELETE the template layer.

Slant your name slightly.
Convert to Raster layer.
Tip:  If you slant your name BEFORE converting it to a Raster layer it will stay clear and not blur.

Give it a slight Inner Bevel:

Resize all layers 85%.
