Thank you Laurette for your permission to translate your work
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 Laurette’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

Laurette works with PSPX9 and I work with PSP 2019
you can follow this tutorial with another version of PSP, but the result might be slightly different
don’t hesitate to change blend modes and opacities of the layers to match your personal colors and tubes
place the tools provided into the appropriate folders of My COREL PSP general folder
to import presets, double-click on them
this tutorial is the property of Luarette, and the translation is my property

Supplies
1 alpha layer « Sybile »
1 preset emboss 3
2 masks
2 decoration tubes
1 Text
1 texture

some tubes are not provided (licensed tubes) - you can puchase them HERE
duplicate all the tubes and decorations, and alpha layers, and work with the copies to preserve originals
open the mask(s) and minimize to tray
place selections, patterns, gradients..... into the dedicated folders of My Corel PSP General folder
double click on presets to install (or import)
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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by -->
« Mirror »has become  --> image => mirror => mirror horizontal
« Flip » has become  --> image => mirror => mirror vertical
