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 this tube at her store found HERE

I am using the PTU kit Chocolate Christmas by Amy(Gimptastic Scraps). Visit her blog HERE to find where she sales her kits and more.
