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  Verymany Artists (Katharine Art). You need a license to use this tube. You can purchase this tube at the Verymany Artists Site HERE

I am using the PTU Kit American Beauty  by Wicked Princess Scraps. This kit is sold at her store HERE
