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 this tube. You can buy this tube at his store HERE

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