About Me

Hi I'm Rita, most of you know me as LadyAries around the forums and the tagging community. Welcome to my blog.
I live in South Carolina and am married to the most wonderful man, my soul mate Wayne. Together we have 4 daughters and 5 wonderful grandchildren. I have been addicted to PSP and tagging for 7 years. I love to bowl, read, scrapbook & watch movies. And I am addicted to Pinterest. Here I will be displaying some of my creations. I hope you enjoy your visit!

Open frame - Shift D to duplicate - close original.
Resize your frame 93 percent.
Activate your eraser tool and erase the credits in the middle.

Resize your tube 90 percent, copy & paste to the center of your frame.
 
Duplicate your frame, then erase portion just above the tubes head so that your tube is showing nicely. Erase all extra parts of your tube that are showing.

Open a new raster layer and send it to the bottom of your layers palette, flood fill with color of choice, I have used #2d2b36. 

Apply your mask & merge group. Duplicate & mirror then merge the two mask layers.
