This tutorial is a personal creation from Valérie Savary - better known as

valyscrappassion.com

I have her written permission to translate her tutorials and 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 by Valérie on February 1st, 2017, with an earlier PSP version.  I have used PSPX 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.

Always make duplicates of the originals and work on the duplicates.
This will ensure you to have intact originals should you experience a problem with your PSP.

Also, save your work often for the same reasons.

Participation à une foire!

Hier, c'était la foire d'Havelock et j'avais un petit kiosque. Voici une photo avec mes petits ouvrages à vendre:

Je n'ai pas vendu autant que j'aurais voulu... Qu'est-ce que je vais faire maintenant avec 6 ou 7 petites poupées... La dame dans le 2e kiosque après moi avait des poupées en tissu.. 2 fois moins chères que les miennes. Devinez qui en a le plus vendu!!?? L'artisanat se vend très mal... il faut quasiment donner les travaux parce que le temps mis à les faire n'est jamais tenu en ligne de compte.
Mais en général, tout de même, j'ai adoré ma journée et j'ai fait de très belles rencontres. Je répèterai l'expérience l'an prochain mais je vendrai plutôt mes violettes africaines!!!
