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 - masks - tubes

open all the tubes into PSP and duplicate them. Work with the copies to preserve orignals
open the masks and minimize them to tray
TIP 1 -> if you don’t want to install a font, but use it temporarily -->
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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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 » --> image -> mirror -> mirror horizontal
« Flip » --> image -> mirror -> mirror vertical

Filters (plugins) used

thank you Renée Salon for sharing your plugins ‘ page

Use the pencil to follow the steps hold down left click to grab it and move it...

Important
Open all images with PSP, duplicate them and close the originals.
Never work on original images.
Animabelle works with PSPX9, I work with PSP2018
but you can follow the steps with another version of PSP
save your work often
