This was written for psp 9 but will work in other versions.
For this tutorial you will need
Paint Shop Pro
Animation Shop

My Mosiac Edge Mask here
Right click and save.
Fonts I used.
I used Zipty Do for the text at the sides which is a pay font so I cannot supply it.

My Mummy Case tube here
NOTE: This tube was drawn by me for the sole purpose of this tutorial. DO NOT share or use in another tut without my express permission.
A tube of your choice.
I am using the wonderful art of Joel Adams. You can purchase a license to use his work from CILM.
NOTE:
If you don't have any tubes that go with the Mummy case, try using some Rainbow Coffi tubes instead. See my example at the bottom of the tutorial.
Ok we are ready to start.
