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 Misticheskaya. You need a license to use these tubes. You can purchase the tube at PFD

I am using the PTU kit My Birthstone Series: Emerald by Gimptastic Scraps .  Amy no longer sells kits.

This is part of a series of kits by Gimptastic Scraps & Tasha's Playground
