Magic Gretel
This tutorial was written by me Shaz/fairygem on the 4th April 2020 and is all my own idea and creation. Any resemblance to other tutorials is purely coincidental and not intended. You will need to have a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro for this tutorial.
You will need:-
Paint Shop Pro - I am using X5 but any version will work.
Scrapkit - I am using a new beautiful kit by Jennifer at Ginnibug Design called Gretel Punk. This kit has 78 Elements, 6 Frames, 2 Masks, 8 Papers, 3 Clusters and 1 tube. You can buy this kit at Picsfordesign under the name LapisGin Here
Tube of choice - I am using a beautiful tube by Eugene Rzhevskii called Magician Girl at Picsfordesign. This tube is in the Exclusive club so you need to have the proper license to use it. You can get the tube Here
Mask of choice - I used Mask 1 from Jenns Kit.
Font of choice - I am using Angers Script which you can download Here
No outside plugins were used.
