For this tutorial you will need the materials in the zip file below.

Thanks go to PamelaD of Arasimages for her beautifully tubed lady and odd little vases used.

Unzip the materials into a working folder you have created on your desktop named Pom Pom. Please duplicate and close original tubes using the copies for your work so you will not lose the originals. Place Selection/ArasimagesPomPom in your PSP Selections folder. Place Mask fork in your PSP/Masks folder. It is assumed you have a working knowledge of PSP to follow these directions. The plugins FilterForge6/Stone/Marble Arabescato, Xero/Abstractor, Toadies/Metallic Onion, Filter Factory Gallery D/Diagonal Infini Tiles and VM Extravaganza/James Bondage, Graphics Plus/Cross Shadow and various PSP effects are used in this tutorial. I have used PSP2018 for this tutorial but other versions may be used.
