All the tubes used to realize this tag were created by Azalée
She is only the tuber, the copyright© belongs to the authors of the original images
If you find the « same » tubes elsewhere, it is pure coincidence
because the images she uses are found on the net.
These tubes are for personal use, and not for profit.
Some « decoration » tubes were found on the net,
or received in the following sharing groups, whom she thanks
Beautiful-PSP - fantasiadicolori
This tutorial is a personal creation.
Any resemblance with another one would be pure coincidence.
Translator’s note : Azalée works with PSPX6, and I work with PSPX8
but this tutorial can be realized with another version of PSP

Step 1
open a new transparent raster layer 900 * 600 pixels (Raster 1)
flood fill with the following linear gradient
adjust > blur > gaussian blur > 30
Step 2
effects > plugins > L en K’s Paris
adjust > sharpness > sharpen more
Step 3
layers > duplicate (Copy of Raster 1) – iamge > mirror > mirror horizontal
selection tool > custom selection
DELETE
selections > select none
Step 4
effects > geometric effects > skew
Step 5
layers > duplicate (Copy 2 of Raster 1)
effects > plugins > L en K’s Jouri
layers > arrange > move down
image > mirror > mirror horizontal – image > mirror > mirror vertical
activate « Copy of Raster 1 »
layesr > merge > merge down TWICE (Raster 1)
Step 6
selection tool > custom selection
selections > promote selection to layers (Promoted Selection)
selections > select none
Step 7
layers > duplicate (Copy of Promoted selection) – image > mirror > mirror horizontal

layers > merge > merge down (Promoted Selection 1)
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow
Step 16
activate the background layer (Raster 1)
selection tool > custom selection
selections > promote selection to layer (Promoted selection 2)

keep the selection active
effects > plugins > AP 01 [Innovations] > Lines SilverLining > Dotty Grid

Step 17
layers > duplicate (Copy of Promoted Selection 2) – image > mirror > mirror vertical
opacity of the layer : 50%
layers > merge > merge down (Promoted Selection 2)
Step 18
layers > duplicate (Copy of Promoted Selection 2)
effects > plugins > Unlimited 2 > VM Extravaganza > James Bondage
blend mode : Overlay – opacity 55%
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow as before
layers > arrange > move down TWICE
Step 19
activate the top layer (Promoted Selection 2)
effects > plugins > Unlimited 2 > Toadies > What Are You ?...

layers > arrange > move down
Step 22
activate « Promoted Selection » (second layer from the bottom)
copy/paste as new layer the tube « Orange-flower-Misted-3-Azalee » (Raster 2)
don’t move it

Step 25
copy/paste as new layer the birds tube (Raster 4)
image > resize > uncheck « resize all layers « > 70%
move it upwards in the middle
adjust > sharpness > sharpen
Step 26
your work and your layers palette look like this
layers > merge > merge visible
Step 27
