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 Alex Prihodko. You need a license to use these tubes. You can buy this tube at PFD

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

This kit is part of a series between Tasha's Playground and Gimptastic Scraps
