Supplies needed:-
I used scrap kit from Nitwit collections called Noahs Arc, the bits & Alpha
I used the Gorjuss work from Suzanne Woolcott which can be found
Font Of choice the alpha wit which you can purchase along with the kit
Lets Go!
When using scrap kits when you resize them you need to resize using smart size and then sharpen by going Adjust Sharpen or the elements get faded and don’t look as good. So when it says resize use this step.

Edit/copy/paste as new layer.
