This tutorial was written by me on 23 October 2008. Any similarities to other tutorials is purely coincidental.
Supplies Needed:
Close up tube or image of choice. I am using the sexy artwork of Michael Landefeld. I got this tube when CIlm was still open. You can find him at CDO now.

Template #10 made by me. It can be downloaded here
Mask by Vix. Check out her great shares under goodies!
Font of choice. I am using MA Sexy which can be downloaded here
No outside plugins needed
Let's begin! Open up my template and delete the credits. Highlight your white background. Open up a paper of choice from the kit and paste as a new layer onto your canvas. Go to Layers > Load/Save Mask from disc. Find Vix's mask in the drop down menu. Apply the mask with these settings:
