I sometimes like to make templates. Here is a new one I made.I hope that you may like and enjoy using..

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 Deanna Bach-Talsma. You need a license to use her tubes. You can purchase this tube at PSP Tube Stop

I am using the FTU kit Kindreds Swan by Amy(Gimptastic Scraps).
