This tutorial was written by me on 25 November 2008. Any similarities to other tutorials is purely coincidental.
Supplies Needed:
2 tubes of choice. I am using the sensual artwork of Gennadiy Koufay. I got this tube when CILM was still open. I don't know where you can get his artwork now, so just use a tube you like instead.
Scrapkit. I am using the luscious kit SWALK by Candy's Treats. If you wish to purchase this kit, you can here. Thank you, Diane!
Font of choice. I used AKA Dora which you can download here
Plugins:
Xero Filters - Soft Mood
Xenofex 2 - Constellation (for animation)
Animation Shop (opt)
