ESPrincess Tutorial



This tutorial was written by me on April 16, 2011 and is my own creation.
Any resemblance to any other tutorial is purely coincidental and totally unintentional.
I used psp7 but it should work in other versions as well.

Supplies:
Tube of choice. I am using the awesome artwork of Eos Sparks, which can be found at PspTubesEmporium.
Template of choice. I am using Template41 by Rachel which can be found on her blog HERE in the links section on the right.
Font – (afGiHmtV)*

Plugins Used:
penta
dsb flux
EyeCandy4000
