FTU Tutorial - Autumn Sunshine

 

I haven't written a tutorial in seven years or more so I'm starting out really simple!

For this tutorial we'll be making the tag above using the wonderful FTU kit "Autumn Sunshine" by Adrienne's Designs. You can get the kit HERE

I didn't use any masks or plugins/filters for this tag.

Please feel free to use any kit of your choice or even elements and tubes you desire. This tutorial is only meant as a guide to get your creative mojo going.

I am using PSPX9 but any version will work with knowledge and familiarity.

Are you ready?
