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 these tubes I bought this tube at PTE. You can purchase his tubes at his store HERE

I am using the PTU kit Candied Butterflies by Manipulated by Magik. You can buy this kit exclusively at PFD, Mystical Scraps and Thrifty Scraps
