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 Elias Chatzoudis. You need a license to use his tubes. I purchased this tube when he was at PTE. You can buy his tubes at his store HERE

I am using the FTU kit Misfit Birthday by Tasha's Playground. You can find the kit HERE
