Pleasure is pain

For this tutorial you will need: Paint Shop Pro: I am using PSP X but any version should work. Tube of choice. I am using the wonderful artwork of Ismael Rac, which you can purchase at AMI. This particular tube was made just for me by Ismael when I was the "Stalker of the Month" at his AMI forum "The Offical Rac Stalkers." Scrap kit by Monti also available at AMI, called "Whips and Pain Excite Me." Tag template 294 by Missy at Divine Intentionz Mask of choice.
