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 Deanna Bach-Talsma. You need a license to use her tubes. You can purchase this tube at PSP Tube Stop

I am using the FTU kit Kindreds Swan by Amy(Gimptastic Scraps).
