STORM
Thanks Irene for the invitation to translate your tutorials
This tutorial was written with PSPX8 and translated with PSPX7 and PSPX3, but it can also be made using other versions of PSP.
Since version PSP X4, Image>Mirror was replaced with Image>Flip Horizontal,
and Image>Flip with Image>Flip Vertical, there are some variables.
In versions X5 and X6, the functions have been improved by making available the Objects menu.
In the latest version X7 command Image>Mirror and Image>Flip returned, but with new differences.

Copy the brush in the Brushes Folder.
The brush provided is orphaned and did not work in my PSP versions.
If you also have problems with the brush,
in the material I added another version of the brush.
Attention, the brush is made up of two files which must not be separated.
