Natures Blossom

This tutorial is for those that have a working knowledge of PSP. This tutorial was written by me on the 22nd day of September 2010 and any resemblance is purely coincidental. I used PSP 9, but any version should work. I do not allow my tutorials to be translated and please do not claim them as your own. If you would like to share the tutorial please send a link to my blog.

Supplies Needed:

• Tubes of Choice: I'm using the work of Genniday Koufay which you can purchase here
