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 Trinita.  You need a license to use this tube. This tube as a gift for November 2014 if you bought three or more tubes at PFD

I am using the PTU kit Beary Merry Christams by Manipulated by Magik. You can buy this kit exclusively at  Mystical Scraps
