This tutorial is written as if you have a general knowledge on how to use the program.

***What you'll need***
Program of Choice.
I am using Photoshop CS5

But, if you know your tools you can use any program of choice

Tube of choice.
I am using the artwork of Ismael Rac

You must purchase a license to use his tubes and can do so HERE

I did recolor this tube to match the kit a bit more but, the other colors would work well as well

Scrapkit of Choice

I am using “Back 2 School Purple” by Designs by Sarah

You can find this kit HERE

Mask of Choice

I am using Mask141 by Weescotslass Creations

You can find this for download HERE
