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: Scrapkit: I'm using an elegant kit from Tasha's Playground
named Breathe Me.
This kit has since been made FTU and can be found
here.
*
Leave some love when snagging the kit.
Tube: I'm using the stunning artwork of Gennadiy Koufay.
I had bought this tube at
CDO.
Do NOT use this artwork unless you have a license to do so
& have purchased the tube.
Template: Temp. 185 from Kristin at Toxic Desirez.
You can find this template on
this post here.

Leave some love when snagging the temp.
