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 Elias Chatzoudis. You need a license to use this tube. I bought this tube at MPT when he was there, but you can buy his tubes at his store HERE


I am using the PTU kit Halloween Night by Manipulated by Magik. You can buy this kit exclusively at PFD, Mystical Scraps and Thrifty Scraps
