Hello! I'm Crystal, aka darkly dreaming. I'm 34 and live in the Midwestern USA. I've been back into PSP since November of 2010. Prior to that I tried PSP for about a year back in 2005 or 2006. I've just recently begun trying my hand at tutorials. If you try one of my tuts and would like to show me what you made, please email me at darklydreaming33@hotmail.com. Happy Tagging!

PostHeaderIcon Picture Perfect Tut


This tutorial was written by me on 8/20/11. Any resemblance to other tutorials is a coincidence.

Supplies:
1) Tube of Choice. I'm using one called "Angel" by Jose Cano. This is a PTU tube, which can be purchased at PTE.
2) Scrapkit of Choice. I'm using the PTU kit Bubblegum Pink by Designs By Ali, which I got at Scraps With Attitude. Ali is saying goodbye and Scraps with attitude is closing at the end of August so get the kit while it's still available.

4) Mask of choice. I used WeeScotsLass Mask 282, available here.
