USA Nurse

For this tutorial you will need the following:

Paint Shop Pro, I am using PSP X, you should be able to use any version.

Tube of choice, I am using the artwork of Ninaste at Beehive Studio (USA Pride tube) which you need a license to use.  This tube is VERY versitile, it comes with color choices for hair, a USA flag layer, a Canadian flag layer, a nurse layer, a USA Navy and USA soldier (camouflage) layers, so it will work well for a variety of tags.

Scrap kit of choice. I am using a FTU kit by Wicked Princess Scraps called Adam's Heart

Font of choice, I am using Coughy Machine

Mask: Vix big mask 18

Plugins: No outside plugins used
I do use Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow on all my copyrights/credits layers
I do this because some forums will make a .png tag show up with a black background and then your
copyright doesn't show.



Just remember that my choices of papers and elements is just a suggestion, change it up and make it yours! You don't have to follow mine exactly.

Add a drop shadow of your choosing to tubes & elements throughout. I usually use 1, 1, 50, 5 unless otherwise noted.
