Purplicious Diva Tutorial

This tutorial is for those that have a working knowledge of PSP. This tutorial was written by me on December 27, 2014 and any resemblance is purely coincidental. I use 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.  Thank you!

Things Needed:

• Tube/Image of choice:  I am using an awesome tube by Barbara Jensen which is a bonus tube that is only available until December 30^th at midnight.
