Do the same for Raster 7 and then on

the copy You'll have to scroll up

slightly in Your layer palette and do the

If You have a nicely textured paper then

use another with a lighter shade.

Ok go back down to Raster 4 and using

Your Manual color correction tool

use these settings:

Source: use the eye dropper tool and

use the same color as the

this very pretty page You've

Click on Your eye dropper tool and depending

on the paper You used

on the background You will either choose a

light or dark color.

Now add any of the text You want and give

it a pretty drop shadow.

If You wish to now add an image of Your own

just click inside the frame and go to

selections

modify

contract

by only a few pixels though and then it should

look very very nice.

I hope You enjoy this tutorial as much as I did

writing it for You.

I Make The Rules

You will need the following things for this tutorial.

Template 19 by MelissaV. You can find it on the

Misfits Blog.

Just search under templates.

Scrap Kit of choice or the one I'm using by Missy.

It's called Breast Cancer Awareness.

This kit is available in both tagger and full sizes.

Tube of choice. I am using the awesome work of Ismael

Rac. You can find His tubes on AMI.

Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow (optional text only).

This tag is made with two very special ladies that I have loved

dearly all My life. My Grandmother was diagnosed with

breast cancer before I was born and beat it. The odds back then

were very low compared to now. My Mother also was diagnosed with

breast cancer and had a masectomy. I almost lost Her not due to the cancer

itself but to infection afterwards. I have almost lost Her twice in My life

and I am just grateful to God and those that prayed for Her

recovery and Her inner stubborness because without that I don't think

She would have made out after the infection as well as She did.

I love You Mom.

For those of You that are still young please, please always do Your

examinations and get those Mammogram's. They are so important

and can detect the cancer in it's earliest stages.

Open the tube and template in psp and minimize the tube. Shift +D on
