I created this tut in PSPX4 (14) but it can be done
with any version of PSP. This is an easy tutorial
with not much to do, just take your time. We will be using the
Blend Mode a bit in this tutorial

You will need:

A tube (close up preferable) - I used one of Elias Chatzoudis tubes.
You need to be a registered member of Elias ArtShop.com
to purchase his tubes, but any mermaid tube will do.
Scrapkit 'Vicky Scrap Kit' from Scraps by Jessica
Mask #18 from Bev, Horseplay'sPastures
Font I used is called 'Wet Paint' from SimplyTheBest-fonts

Open up the tube you will be using, as well as the mask, minimize the mask
