This tutorial is a personal creation from Valérie Savary, better known as
valyscrappassion.com

You can find the original here. Any resemblance with another one would be only pure coincidence.  It is strictly forbidden to modify tubes, to change their name or take off the watermarks, 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 Valérie’s work and other artwork creators'work mentioned in the original tutorial.  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.  You can reach me at here.

This tutorial was made on July 30, 2014, with an earlier PSP version.  I have used PSPX2 to make my translation; you can follow this tutorial with any other versions of PSP, but the result might be slightly different.

Download the zip file containing the materials, decompress and copy the originals; work with the copies.  For presets, double-click on them and they will install themselves.  For gradients, masks, selections, textures, simply place in your appropriate PSP folders.
