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 Anna Liwanag. You must have a license to use her artwork You can purchase this tube at Creative Design Outlet

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