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 names 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 will try to fix the problem as quickly as I can. You can reach me here.
Valérie made this tutorial on June 6 - 2014. I have used PSPX8 to make my translation;
you can follow this tutorial with any other versions of PSP - but the result might be slightly different.
I always refer to the old scripts of Mirror and Flip.
Thanks to Meli-Melo for her tubes
Download and decompress the Materials file, save the selections in your 'My PSP Files' under your Selections folder.
You can copy/save the mask image in your 'My PSP Files' under your Masks folder for further use
but it goes faster if you open it and minimize it in your workspace while doing the tutorial.
