PTU Tutorial ~ Midnight Love + FREE Snags!


**This tutorial is my own creation, from my own imagination.  Any similarities are completely coincidental!**

This tutorial was written in PSP9, but should easily transfer to other versions!

Supplies:

Kit:  I'm using the amazingly versatile kit "Potions & Spells" by PinkParadox Productions.  You can buy this kit HERE.

Tube:  I'm using an Exclusive tube from PFD.  You can check out all of their Exclusives HERE.

Mask:  I'm using the fantastic mask of Rocked by Rachel, RR_MaskSet26_1.  You can pick this mask up HERE.

Font:  I'm using Arial for my copyright font and Midnight Moon for the names.  You can pick this font up HERE.

Plugins:

Xero: Soft Mood
Eye Candy 4000 - Gradient Glow and Glass
