Original Post Date- 1/19/13, 3:47 AM Central Standard Time*The kit I used for this tutorial is no longer available for purchase.
It is one of my own kits that I discontinued a couple years ago.
Right now I'm not sure if I'll make it FTU or just
offer it as a freebie here for forum members or what I'll do with it.
I will update this at some point if I make it available for PTU or FTU.

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 X2,
tho' any version should work.
Supplies Needed: Scrapkit: I'm using my Gone With The Sin kit.
*This kit was discontinued.
I am hoping to revise/ re-issue it at some point.
