Purplicious Diva Tutorial

This tutorial is for those that have a working knowledge of PSP. This tutorial was written by me on December 27, 2014 and any resemblance is purely coincidental. I use PSP 9, but any version should work. I do not allow my tutorials to be translated and please do not claim them as your own. If you would like to share the tutorial please send a link to my blog.  Thank you!







Things Needed:
  • Tube/Image of choice:  I am using an awesome tube by Barbara Jensen which is a bonus tube that is only available until December 30th at midnight.
  • Kit of choice: I am using a beautiful kit by Whispy’s  D’zines called Purplicious which can be purchased from Dzines from the Heart.
  • Plugins: none needed
  • Masks/Templates: Mask of Choice 


  • Let’s Begin:
  • 1.       Open a new transparent image 600 x 600 (this is going to be called our working image)
