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 FTU artist Lia

I am using the PTU kit Dats Mardi Gras by Gimptastic Scraps . This kit is exclusive to The PSP Project and Thrifty Scraps
