Any similarity to any other tutorial
is purely coincidental
You will need:
Font of choice – I used Coventry Garden
Template 65 by TracyF Designz
I used a gorgeous FTU scrapkit
called Vintage Christmas by Eileens Design
Tube of choice. I used Deliah by
Elizabeth Austin. You can purchase these great tubes from Up Your Art
Mask of choice – I used OMask046 LT.
I’m not sure where I got this mask, so I have
supplied it. Please let me know if this is yours, and I will either remove, or
supply credits.
I also used penta.com dot and cross filter. If you
don’t have this, a very similar effect can be made using blinds. I’ll explain
how to do this when we reach that part J
