translator’s note : I use PSP 2019 Ultimate to create my tags

Material
selections - masks - tubes - color palette
the main tube is not provided

I chose one of my tubes

open the tubes, duplicate and work with the ocpies to preserve originals
open the masks and minimize to tray
save selections into the folder « selections » of Corel PSP general folder
save gradients into the folder « gradients » of PSP general folder

Filters Used
Mehdi / Wavy Lab 1.1
Unlimited / Toadies / Weaver
AP [Lines] Lines / Silverlining

translator’s note
« Belle de Nuit »  works with PSP X, I use PSPX9 to create my tag and write my translations
but this tutorial can be realized with any other version of PSP
according to the version of PSP you use, the results might be slightly differents
don’t hesitate to change blend modes of layers matching your tubes and colors

Colors

set colors 1 and 2 as FG and BG colors into the materials palette
color 1 --> foreground color --> FG --> left click --> #hef167c
color 2 --> background color --> BG --> right click --> #000000 (bladk)
if you change the colors, keep black as BG color

Hints and Tips
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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by -->
image -> Mirror  --> image => mirror => mirror horizontal
image ->  Flip  --> image => mirror => mirror vertical

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