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, masks and other creation, 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.
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 PSP folders.
