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 Angela Newman. You need a license to use her tubes. I purchased this tube when The PSP Project was open. You can now find her as Angela Diegel selling at CDO. You can find this tube at CDO

I am using the PTU kit IB Angela Deigel 15-2 by Gimptastic Scraps . This kit is exclusive to CDO
