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


Material
font - tubes - text tubes - selection - brush - mask

open all your tubes into PSP and duplicate them. Work with the copies to preserve orignals
open the masks and minimize them to tray
copy / paste selections into the folder « selections » of Corel PSP General folder
double click on the presets to install them
TIP -> if you don’t want to install the font, open it in a software as « Nexus Font » (or other font viewer software)
as long as the window is opened, the font will be available in your PSP

Filters (plugins) used
Sapphire Filters 03
FM Tile Tools
Mura’s Seamless

Important
Open all images with PSP, duplicate them and close the originals.
Never work on original images.
Animabelle works with PSPX9, I work with PSPX9 too
but you can follow the steps with another version of PSP

Colors
use the Dropper tool to pick up 3 colors into your tube
Animabelle chose these colors

color 1 -> ForeGround color -> #e4eff3
color 2 -> BackGround color -> #53646b
color 3 -> #243b43
Don't hesitate to change the colors and the blend modes of the layers,
according to your tubes and images.

copy / paste as new layer
move the tube to the right into selection

opacity of the layer : 40%
effects -> plugins -> FM Tile Tools -> Saturation Emboss / default settings

selections -> invert
DELETE on your keyboard
selections -> invert

7
layers -> new raster layer
selections -> modify -> select selection borders

flood fill the selection with the following gradient

effects -> plugins -> Mura’s Seamless / Amboss At Alpha

selections -> select none

8
close the eye of Bottom layer (Raster 1)
make sure top layer is highlighted (Raster 5)

layers -> merge -> merge visible
open the eye of Raster 1

keep top layer highlighted
layrs -> duplicate
highlight layer underneath (original layer)
adjust -> blur -> gaussian blur : 20
blend mode of the layer :  « Multiply »
layers -> merge -> merge visible

9
layers -> new raster layer
open the brush « Pinceau_Feerie_Animabelle »
file -> export -> custom brush
name it

back to your work
activate Brush Tool, find your new brush
apply (white) top right

layers -> duplicate
layers -> merge -> merge down
effects -> 3D effects -> drop shadow -> 1 / 1 / 65 / 1 / color 3

image -> mirror -> mirror horizontal
layers -> merge -> merge down
layers -> duplicate again
iamge -> mirror -> mirror vertical
layers -> merge -> merge all (flatten)

11
image -> add borders -> symmetric -> 3 pixels white
selections -> select all
image -> add borders -> symmetric -> 40 pixels color 2
selections -> invert
