Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
I am using a tube by Selina Fenech
which you can purchase at
her store.
The tube I am using I purchased from CILM
when they were open.

I am also using Inspired by Selina Fenech 36-3
scrap by Ladyhawwk Designs which can also be purchased
at CDO.
