FTU - Marika Ribbon Tutorial*

Marika Ribbon

                             

This tutorial was written by me on April 28, 2012, using my own ideas. Any resemblance to others is coincidental and accidental. This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of psp and is written in PSPX. 

Please leave some love when downloading supplies. The artists/creators work hard to make/share their work with us, so let's be appreciative.  

As always, tutorials are only a guideline. If you don't have the exact supplies, use ones you have or ones you choose. :)
