Veroreves-Happy Holydays 2025-2026

 Happy holidays 2025-2026

the tubes are available on my tubes blog
you wil find the orignal tutorial here

This tutorial is a personal creation. 
Veroreves and I work with PSP20
but you can follow this tutorial with any other version of PSP

Any resemblance with another one would be pure coincidence.
It is stricly forbidden to modify images, to change their name or take off the matermarks,
To present them on your sites or blog,
to make a bank of images, or to use them on lucrative purposes.

Thank you to respect Veroreve’s work and the tubers work.
Don’t hesitate to warn me if you have any trouble with this translation
And I’ll fix the problem as soon as I can

Supplies
you can download the supplies on Veroreve's original tutorial
or HERE   
Place the supplies and selections into the dedicated folders of  « Corel PSP » general folder
you will need a nice colored image, a decoration and a character tube (not provided)

save your work often in case of problems with your psp
don’t hesitate to change blend modes and opacities of the layers to match your personal colors and tubes

HINTS and TIPS
TIP 1 -> if you don’t want to install a font -->
open it in a software as « Nexus Font » (or other font viewer software of you choice)
as long as both windows are opened (software and font), your font will be available in your PSP
TIP 2 -> from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by -->
« Mirror »has become  --> image => mirror => mirror horizontal
« Flip » has become  --> image => mirror => mirror vertical
