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 Arthur Crowe.  You need a license to use this tube. You can buy this tube at his store HERE

I am using the PTU Kit Rustic Winter by Gimptastic Scraps . This kit was exclusive to Pimpin’ PSPers Warehouse at the time I used it..But you can now find the kit at CDO exclusively
