This tutorial was written by me. Any resemblance to any other tutorial is pure coincidence. Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own. It was written in PSP 9 but should be compatible with any version of PSP.

I am using the artwork of Zindy. S. D. Nielsen. You need a license to use her tubes. You can purchase the tube at her store HERE

I am using the FTU kit Falling for Steampunk by Gimptastic Scraps
