This tutorial was written by me on 1st April 2012 and is my own creation, any resemblance to other tutorials is purely coincidental. You must have a working knowledge of Psp to do this tutorial.

For this tutorial you will need:-

Paint Shop Pro - I am using Psp9 but any version will work.

Tube of choice or the one i am using which is Ismael Rac and you must have a license to use his artwork which you can find HERE

Scrapkit of choice, I am using one of Purples FTU kits called Self-harm Awareness. This kit means alot ot me as i am a self-harmer and hate the way people judge me. I am hoping that this tutorial and Purples Kit makes people realise we are normal people but with inner and outer scars. You can find the Kit HERE

Sorry again, Real Life being a B*tch at the moment

Hi everyone sorry i haven't been in for ages, real life is being a total b*tch to me health wise and mentally aswell. My mental health at the moment is rock bottom and my bipolar is playing up so much and i have started self harming again. Also at the moment i am going through lots of tests and a scope as i have problems in my stomach and duodenum and they want to do a biopsy as i have swellings there and they don't know what they are at the moment. I will be going through another scope by the end of April which i am not looking forward to but know i have to have it done. On a good note my disability money finally got sorted out and i got a lump sum back payment so i went out and bought a new corner suite for my living room and new furniture aswell. My suite should be here next week so i am quite excited about that. When the doctor came out he examined me and then told me i needed to have grab rails put in to help me out of bed and into the bath, a seat aswell for the bath and to get round my house a zimmer frame, i'm only 42 so you can imagine how i felt when told about the zimmer. I've been keeping my crutches very close and using them all the time which of course upsets my 20 month old grandson because i can't stand and give him cuddles anymore i have to be sat down. Anyway enough of my blabbing i am in the middle of writing a new tutorial using Purples Self Injury kit which of course means alot to me so keep a look out for that it should be posted tomorrow.
Have a safe and happy Sunday
