PTU Tutorial ~ Cherry Bomb + Freebie 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 super fun, retro kit "Cherry Bomb" by Pink Paradox Productions.  You can pick up this awesome kit from her store, HERE.

Tube:  I'm using the beautiful tube "Mysterious Lady" by Roman Zaric.  This is a Pay To Use tube and you must have a license to use his artwork.  You can find his amazing work HERE.

Mask:  I'm using Rocked by Rachel's mask Mask_Set14_1.  You can find this mask at her blog HERE.

Font: I'm using the font Riesling, which can be found HERE.

Plugins:  Eye Candy 6 : Gradient Glow (optional for text)

Ready? Let's get started!
