Expressions Of Love Tutorial

This Tag was made using Pspx2 and Animation Shop

Im using the Beautiful work of Caron Vinson. If you wish to use her work you must purchase her tubes and get her licenses from HERE.

The Beautiful scrap kit I used is called Tickle me Pink and it can be found HERE.

Ok lets get going!!

Open a new canvas 800x800

Add a new raster layer and flood fill white

Open frame 1 from the scrap kit copy & paste as a new layer.

Using the magic wand click just inside the frame to get the ants going round

then open paper 2 copy and paste it as a new layer

Go to Selections, modify expand by 2 then go back to selections ,

click invert ,and then hit delete on keyboard

And select none.

Move the paper under the frame.
Using your magic wand again click just inside the frame layer to get those measly ants again,
Open you tube of choice
Copy and paste as a new layer
Position her where you want. go to selections , invert and then hit delete on your keyboard.
Move her below the frame, she is the main tube.
Duplicate tube layer 2 times.

and lower the opacity to 20% on both
Open the elements, and copy , paste, re- size and position them where desired.
Text on curve.
Using preset shape select elipse shape and draw out a circle using just the foreground in your material pallet
Make sure its a color not used in the tag.
It need to be slightly bigger than you frame so none of it shows.
Select this layer
add a new raster layer
On this layer is where you add text. it will automatically add a vector layer
Using text tool click on outer edge of the circle till u see a curved A
Choose your desired font, I used Calligraph421BT,
and type out your desired text, it should be going around the circle.
Position the text in the box by moving the cursor before or after the text,
and click on the space bar as many times as you need , watch the text move around the circle. and then once your text is where you want it to be Click Apply.
convert this layer to a raster layer.
Delete the extra raster layer that has nothing on it and the circle vector layer.
Add your desired drop shadows to all the elements , tubes or text.
