Photobucket
To actual size of tag, click on the example.

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

This tut was written and copyright by Kali at Young at Heart Designs.
I used PSPX2 and Animation Shop to create this tut.

Supplies:
-Wonderful Artwork by Pinup Toons and can be found HERE . You must purchase and have a valid license to use his work.
Please DON'T use his artwork without permission.
-Incredible Kit by Kristi w. called "Paris Chic" and can be found HERE.
-Mask of choice
-Font: JI Hidden Vines
-Plug-in>Eye Candy 4000>Gradient Glow
-Plug-in>Eye Candy>HSB Noise
-Plug-in>Xero>Fritilary
-Plug-in>Alien Skin Xenofex 2>Constellation

I have added a drop shadow to pretty much every layer and I also sharpened all elements if I resized them so they maintained the same
quality as the original one.

1 Open new canvas 700x500.
2 Open the kristiw_parischic_frame2 and kristiw_icingonthecake_scallopframe from the kit.
3 Resize and position where desired.
Use my example for reference.
4 Click on frame1 and get your magic wand tool.
5 Click in the opening of the frames and then go to Selections>Modify>Expand and put 10.
6 Open your choice of paper and then go to Selections>Invert and hit delete on your keyboard.
7 Move the paper layers below the frames.
8 Open your choice of tube(s). I used a total of 2.
9 Resize and position where desired.
10 Open your desired elements from the kit.
11 Resize and position where desired.
12 Open the mask and minimize it.
13 Go to the very 1st layer and open your choice of paper.
14 Go to Layers>New Mask Layer>From Image.
15 In the drop down for Source select the mask.
16 Make sure Source luminance is selected and hit ok.
17 Go to Layers>Merge>Merge Group.
18 Resize the mask layer to be bigger.
19 Get your text tool and font of choice.
20 Type out any desired wording. I also used a gradient glow on the wording.
21 Add copyrights.
22 If you are not doing the animation resize and save as a png.

If you are doing the animation, follow these steps:

23 Go to the 1st layer and get your paint bucket tool.
24 Flood fill white.
25 Click on the background paper for the square frame.
26 Duplicate it twice.
27 Click on the original layer and go to Effects>Plug-in>Eye Candy>HSB Noise.
28 Leave the settings at default but hit random once and then ok.
29 Repeat for the other 2 background layers.
30 Hide both duplicated layers.
31 Click on the background paper for the circle frame.
32 Duplicate it twice.
33 Click on the original layer and go to Effects>Plug-in>Xero>Fritilary.
34 Apply these settings: 5-30-10-50
35 Apply these settings to the 2 duplicated layers:
5-30-10-60
5-30-10-40
36 Hide both duplicated layers.
37 Click on the Tower layer and duplicate twice.
38 Click on the original layer and go to Effects>Plug-in>Alien Skin Xenofex 2>Constellation.
39 Leave at default settings but change the color to keep original and hit random once.
40 Hit okay and repeat for the duplicated layers.
41 Hide duplicated layers.
42 Copy merge and go to Animation Shop.
43 Paste as a new animation.
44 Back in PSP, hide the original merged layer and unhide the 1st duplicated layer.
45 Copy merge and go to AS.
46 Right-click on your current frame and select Paste After Current Frame.
47 Back in PSP, hide the 1st duplicated merged layer and unhide the 2nd duplicated layer.
48 Right-click on your current frame and select Paste After Current Frame.
49 Select All and change frame properties to 75.
50 Resize and save as a gif and you are all done!!!

I hope you liked my tut!
