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 Keith Garvey. You need a license to use his tubes. I purchased this tube while he was at MPT. You can buy his work at his store found HERE

I am using the PTU kit Christmas of Old by Freek's Creations. You can buy the kit at Mystical Scraps
