This tutorial was written by me on the 30 August 2008.  Any similarities to other tutorials is purely coincidental. 

Supplies:

4 tubes of choice.  I am using the adorable artwork of Rion Vernon. I got this art when CILM was still open.  You can find him at CDO now.

Scrapkit is Torn Affection by Candy's Treats and can be purchased from her HERE
Word Art by Missy of Divine Intentionz (it's word art #16)

Mask by Becky.  Unfortunately, her site is now closed (mask included in supplies)

Slideshow Rectangle made by me.

Font of Choice.  I used Lover's Quarrel which I can not supply because it is a pay font.

Filters Needed:
