This tutorial was written entirely by me, using PSP9, any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.

This tutorial should work with any version of PSP.

This tutorial is written with the belief that you have a working knowledge of PSP, but is also suitable for beginners.

Materials you will need:

Scrap Kit of choice, I used Topaz by Kikekas Kits.

Tube of choice, I used the art of ©Gennadiy Koufay which requires a license which may be purchased at CDO.

(But this tube is a bonus and only available until February 29,2012)

Mask of choice, I used Gemsmask35, and you may get it here.

Font of choice, I used Boulevard.

Filter:

EyeCandy4000 ~Gradient Glow~

Animation shop if you choose to animate 

Animation elements if you animate you may find the one I used here, its by Lovey

Let's begin.

Open a new image, 750 x 750

Copy and paste as a new layer a paper from your kit. Apply your mask, and merge the group.

Using a couple of scatters or swirls from your kit paste above the merged mask layer add a gradient glow to compliment your tube.

Duplicate and mirror as desired, using the deform tool is useful in positioning too.

Take a candle element re-size 70 and place as desired adding a drop shadow.

Using the shoe element place "in front" of your candle adding a drop shadow again.

You may add a drop shadow and a gradient glow as desired to each element.

Re-size flower1 and 2 80, you may need to re-size 60 again then use your deform tool adjust and position.

Duplicate both and re-size 80 and position in a complimentary fashion around the shoe.

Re-size box2 60  position as you see fit. 

Using a ribbon from your kit position as suits your vision duplicating, rotating & re-sizing as needed.

Position your tube as desired add a drop shadow above the top scatter layer, but beneath your elements.

Re-size, add your copyright and your name.

To animate:

In PSP x out all the layers above the top scatter layer. Copy merged and paste as a new animation into AS.

If you are using an animation like mine you will need to make 20 frames by holding the ctrl key and pressing the l key 19 times.

Open your animation element and select all then copy, go back to your tag select all then paste into current frame. 

You may want more than one of the animations so repeat this if you'd like to.

Now go back to PSP, and un-x all the layers you have x-ed, then x the lower "background" layers.

Copy merged and paste as a new animation in AS. 

Make sure the propagate and paste button in clicked then copy your new tag and copy. 

Go to the animated background layers and select all and paste into current frame. this should put the "top" layer on your tag.

 Check your animation, adjust the frame speed if desired.

Thank you for trying my tutorial.
