You should have a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro. I used PSP X2 but it should work for all versions.
A used a beautiful PTU kit from Shal, Wintergreen Wonderland. Thank you Shal, for creating such wonderful scraps. You can purchase Shal's kits here .
I used a mask by Sabre Lindsay at The Quill & Parchment . Be sure to explore his site, he has wonderful freebies.
(the mask needed is in the two Winter masks towards the bottom of page) Put in your Mask folder.
