Program used: PSP 9 and Animation Shop

Level: Intermeditate

Supplies: Kit A Magical Land by Lise-Lotte Sunesen. The kit can be bought here.

Plus my heart animation and PSP frame. They can be downloaded here.

Plugins used: Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow and Eye Candy 6 Perspective Shadow.

* Download and unzip the heart animation. Save it to a folder of your choice.

* Ditto with the Picture Frame. Save that to c:/documents/MyPSPFiles/PictureFrame

* Open paper 02. Duplicate. Resize to 600*600 px. (SmartSize). Save! This is now your working canvas.

* Open leaf swirl 02. C/p to the canvas. Resize to 20%. Mirror.

* Open grass 01. C/p to the canvas. Resize  to 15%.

* Open fairy 01. C/p to the canvas. Resize to 20%.

* I have placed everything like this:

* Add a name or a title. I wrote “Fairy Love” with SBC Whimsy Joogle. I used size 36 for the fairy part (/I used a brown from the fairy´s hair) and size 48 for the love part (/this time I picked a red from her shoes).

* I added a white sticker border to the text with EC 4000 Gradient Glow with these settings:

* Add a shadow to your elements. I used EC6 Perspective Shadow with these settings:

* This is what my canvas looks like now:

* Go to Selection Tool and find the Custom Selection. Apply these settings:

Then go to Image/Crop To Selection.

* Make the paper layer your active layer. Then go to Image/Picture Frame and apply frame lhsTORNEDGE_01 with these settings:

* Part of the frame shows as a weird shadow beneath the grass part, so with your selection tool, chose this part:

And flood fill it with white. (/The picture frame is still your active layer).

* Now Merge Visible.

* Copy the merged layer twice, so that you have three layers in total.

* Save as a pspimage.

* Open the file in Animation Shop. Also open the heart animation.

* In both files select all layers. Then drag the heart animation into the tag. Use my finished tag as a referance.

* Save your animation as a gif-file.

* Your tag is finished! :)

This is my result:

I hope, you enjoyed this tutorial.
