FTU- Summer Days

This is a really easy-peasy tut. Promise.

This tutorial is borne from my own manipulated lil' mind. 
Any similarity to any other tutorial(s) is purely coincidental.
This tutorial was written for those who have a working 
knowledge of PSP and was written using PSP XI, 
tho' any version should work.

Supplies Needed: 
Tube: I'd used the adorable artwork of Maureen Seng 

who was a new artist at Artistic Reality Talent.
Do NOT use this artwork unless you have a license to do so 
& have purchased the tube.

Scrapkit: I'm using my FTU Summer Days kit, 
which can be found here.

Mask: of choice.

Filters: Xero- Radiance
Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow 

Font: Pointed Brush

Drop shadow used in this tutorial is 2 2 50 5, black.
