You will find the original tutorial here :

This tutorial is a personal creation.
Any resemblance with another one would be only pure coincidence.
It is stricly forbidden to modify tubes, to change their name or take off the matermarks,
To present them on your sites or blog,
To share them in groups,
to make a bank of images, or to use them on lucrative purposes.

Thank you to respect Animabelle’s work and the tubers work.
Don’t hesitate to warn me if you have any trouble with this translation,
and I’ll try to fix the problem as quickly as I can

Animabelle worked with PSP2020 and I worked with PSP2020 Ultimate
you can follow this tutorial with another version of PSP, but the result might be slightly different

Supplies
Mask – tubes and image - font

main tubes are no longer provided
TIP 1 -> if you don’t want to install a font -->
open it in a software as « Nexus Font » (or other font viewer software of you choice)
as long as both windows are opened (software and font), your font will be available in your PSP
TIP 2 -> from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by -->
« Mirror »has become  --> image => mirror => mirror horizontal
« Flip » has become  --> image => mirror => mirror vertical

Plugins needed
Mehdi
Filters Unlimited 2.0
Graphics Plus
AAA Frames
Alien Skin Eye Candy 5 : Impact
Thank you Renée Salon for sharing your plugins page

1
duplicate all the tubes and work with the copies to preserve originals

Animabelle chose these :
color 1 => #d9c6c8
color 2 => #82a4a2
color 3 => #ffffff
color 4 => #dc5968

don’t hesitate to change blend modes and opacities of the layers to match your personal colors and tubes
