Tube I used is "Dryad" by ©MaryArt HERE
This Tut assumes you have a working
knowledge of Paint Shop Pro. I use PSP 2022 but it can be done in any version.
Any similarities to other tuts is purely coincidental. I made this up as I went
with my own imagination. Results will vary depending on items used.
Scrapkit of Choice or the one I used
is “Forest Elf 22” available HERE at Curious Creative Dreams. I suggest ones
with lots of greenery/leaves.
Filters Used:
Graphics Plus Kaleidoscope
DSB Flux Blast
Xero Fritillary
Mask is Vix Mask 469 HERE

tube layer & move the copy underneath the frame layer. Now on your top tube
layer use your eraser with these settings.
Erase the parts of the tube covering
your frame. Then choose your bottom tube layer & erase any of it showing
out from under your frame that is showing where you don’t want it.
