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
tubes - decorations - selections - masks - font

open all the 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 both windows are opened (software and font), your font will be available in your PSP

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
save your work often

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

color 1 -> ForeGround color -> #ffe2d6
color 2 -> BackGround color -> #ffc4ab
color 3 -> #ffa57d
color 4 -> #822700
Don't hesitate to change the colors and the blend modes of the layers,
according to your tubes and images

realization
1
don’t forget to save your work often

« Mirror » --> mirror -> mirror horizontal
