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 Nocturne.  You need a license to use this tube. You can purchase this tube at PFD


I am using the kit Holly Jolly by Manipulated by Magik. You can buy this kit only at her store found HERE
