**Special Note..Though I don't live in Boston, I like the rest of the United States and world have been riveted to the news this whole week....Boston has been through hell and back just in the span of 5 days..May our prayers be with everyone at this time. I am happy to present this tut dedicated to everyone in Boston.**




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 Freya Langford-Sidebottom. This is a free tube that was commissioned by Omneya Dhmaid. Freya and Omneya are giving it away free...You can find the tube on Freya's Facebook page found HERE

I am using the FTU kit Bostonian Strength by Gimptastic Scraps

Plugin: Tramages (Tow The Line) Found HERE
