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 Natacha Chohra. You need a license to use her tubes. You can purchase her tubes at PSP Tube Stop

I am using the PTU kit Little Owl by Amy(Gimptastic Scraps) . You can check Amy's blog HERE to see where this kit is sold.
