Lady Daisy

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

For a Danish, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Dutch translation click on the flags.

Unzip the materials into a working folder you have created on your desktop named Lady Daisy. Please duplicate and close original tubes using the copies for your work so you will not lose the originals. For this tutorial I have used Plugins Flaming Pear/Flexify and effects found in PSP. To work this tutorial, it is assumed you have some working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro. In this tutorial, I have used CTRL+A for Select All and CTRL+D for deselect. I have used PSP2020.

Thanks go to Lisa for the tubing of her beautiful granddaughter, Maeva, to Maeva for her permission to use the tube and to Berna for her lovely daisy tube.
