Silver N Gold PTU Tutorial

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 Arthur Crowe. You need a license to use his tubes. You can buy his work at his store HERE

I am using the PTU kit Silver N Gold by Freek's Creations. You can buy the kit at Mystical Scraps
