Tutorial "Rac Star"

This tutorial was written by me on 30th September 2009. It was done with PSP9 but it might work with other versions, too. This tutorial is copyrighted to me, any resemblance is purely coincidental and not intentional!

You need: PTU tagger size kit "Black Star - Green" (or one of the other Black Star kits)by Tinas Magical Scrap World, you can purchase here or here or with the exclusive bundle only available from my blog, a fantastic tube, I am using the artwork of Ismael Rac which you can purchase on ArtisticMindsInc, mask Kristin TD-Mask 8.jpg by Toxic Desirez and my template #21
