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 Terry Heuser. You need a license to use this tube. You can purchase this tube at The PSP Project

I am using the PTU kit Spring Fairy by Gimptastic Scraps . This kit is exclusive to The PSP Project
