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 Pinuptoons. You need a license to use this tube. You can purchase this tube at CDO

I am using the PTU Kit IB Pinuptoons 270-3 by Wicked Princess Scraps.  This kit is sold at CDO
