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 Alex Prihodko. You need a license to use his tubes. You can buy the tube at PicsforDesign

I am using the PTU kit Christmas Chill by Manipulated by Magik . Visit her blog HERE to find where she sales her  kits and more.
