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 Pinup Toons.  You need a license to use this tube. I purchased this tube when it was at CDO. You can buy her beautiful tubes at her store HERE

 

I am using the FTU kit Pink Christmas by DiamondCreations
