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 Charles Bristow. You need a license to use his tubes. This tube was a Christmas gift in 2012 from AIL. You can now buy his work at Mystical Scraps

I am using the PTU kit Frostie by Freek's Creations. You can buy the kit at Mystical Scraps
