PTU- Devilish Beauty Forum Style Tag

This tutorial is borne from my own manipulated lil' mind. 
Any similarity to any other tutorial(s) is purely coincidental.
This tutorial was written for those who have a working 
knowledge of PSP and was written using PSP XI, 
tho' any version should work.

Supplies Needed: 

Tube: I'm using the artwork of Joahannah von Frankenstein 
which I had obtained from the ART store.
Do NOT use this artwork unless you have a license to do so 
& have purchased the tube.

Scrapkit: I'm using a kit called Devilish from AmyMarie.
*This kit is no longer available, however, 

another 'dark/ goth' themed kit could work.  

Filters: Xero- Fritillary
Tramages- Tow The Line
Xero- Radiance
Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow 

Font: More Than Human

Drop shadow used: 2 4 65 3, black.
