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 Pool Party by Manipulated by Magik. You can buy this kit only at her store. Find out where with this blog post HERE
