Sparkalicious (Animated) Tut

To do this tutorial you must have some knowledge of PSP and Animation Shop.

This Tag was made using PSPX2 and Animation Shop. This tutorial is also copyrighted by Young at Heart Designs.
Im using the Beautiful work of Jamie Kidd. If you wish to use hers work you must have a license to use her work before using her tubes.

The adorbale kit I used is called "Sparkalicious" by Clarey Designz and it can be found HERE.


Supplies:

Font: GlitzyJewel

I used shadow settings V3,H2, O50, B5, Color Black on ALL elements, layers, text and the tube except for the mask layer.
I also sharpened every element and tube I had to resize to get the quality like the original size. To learn how to sharpen please refer to the end of this tutorial.
