Im a Star

This tutorial is for those that have a working knowledge of PSP. This tutorial was written by me on the 10th day of May 2011 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.

Things Needed:

• Tube of choice: Please choose a tube that has a close up and a distant tube. I am using Digital Doll a tube from the talented Ismael Rac which you can buy HERE
• Plugins : Penta Jeans and Xero Fritillary
• Kit of choice: I am using the kit called Graphic by Sugar Kissed which you can purchase from her store Here
