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 Elizabeth Austin.  You need a license to use this tube. This tube is sold at CDO

I am using the kit C’est Du Bon Temps by Manipulated by Magik. You can buy this kit only at her store found HERE
