SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Tutorial by Jcuttlebear01 aka JoAnn

2/9/2014

I do these tutorials for fun and not

for any profit. I use them also as a learning tool to

help others learn the fun and art of paint shop pro.

Everything I use I have collected or bought and I

 don't claim to have

made anything other then the tag.

All graphics I use the copy write stays with the

original artist.

Notes:

All settings will remain the same unless otherwise noted

This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP

Remember to save often in case your psp crashes.

I did this in PSP 9 but sure any one will work.

I'm using the darling kit called Spring harmony it
