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 Melissa Dawn.  You need a license to use this tube. You can buy this tube at CDO

I am using the PTU Kit IB Melissa Dawn 14-2 by Schnegge’s Scraps. This kit is sold at CDO.  This scrapper no longer at CDO
