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.
