Original Post Date- 1/25/13, 7:16 PM Central Standard Time





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 the FTU Wild Thing kit from Tasha's Playground.
You can find this on her blog, here.
*Leave some love when grabbing the kit.

Tube(s): I'm using images of Ville Valo that I tubed.
The images are  Joonas Brandt.
Do not use any artwork unless you have a license to do so 
& have purchased the tube.

Mask: of choice
