My Translations (valyscrappassion) - Aveline

 BACK TO PSP INDEX   MY TUTORIALS   MY TRANSLATIONS    MY BANNERS

This tutorial is a personal creation from Valérie Savary - better known as valyscrappassion.com. She made it with PSP on September 16, 2026, 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 unless specified - to present them on your sites or blogs - 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 creators' work mentioned in the original tutorial.
For my result above, I used a character tube from Tubes et Créations Maryse and an element (the piano) from a scrapkit by Simone from Scrappy Bit of Fun, in her Arabesque kit.

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 here.

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

This tutorial was created by Valérie with PSP20.  I have used PSP9 to make my translation; my tubes are from Maryse (ballerina dancer) and the piano is from a scrapkit by Sophisticat Simone (Arabesque).  I recognize their talents and thank them for their superb tubes. It can be realized with any PSP version but the results may have slight differences.
