Inspired by one of my Divas, ButterflyRose55
I wrote this tut using PSPX2 and Animation Shop3
**c&p=Copy and Paste As New Layer
**When working with duplicate layers, I always refer to them as first, second, third…from the bottom up
Don’t forget to save often;)
I am using another awesome work of art, Glimmer, by Keith Garvey. You must have a license to use his art and you can purchase his work at PTE
(my license is different cuz I got this tube when he was at MPT)
I am using yet another gorgeous kit called Pure Poison by Tamie and you can purchase that at Dreams-N-Digital
I used a mask by Vaybs: DBV Mask97 you can get that here
The template is one that I made for this tag and you can get it here
Plugins used:
dsb flux / Bright Noise
Eye Candy 4000 / Gradient Glow
Filters Unlimited 2.0
Alien Skin Xenofex 2 / Constellation
Xero / Porcelain & Radiance
Font: Aphrodite Pro
Open template, delete credits and resize canvas to 900x900 pixels; make sure the middle box is selected to keep your template centered
Open frame: c&p, resize at 80% and move to left of template
Open your tubes: c&p CU below your frame layer, mirror and position inside your frame. c&p your main tube as the top layer
Activate your frame layer and grab you Magic Wand with these settings
Select all the transparent areas in the frame, Selections>Modify>Expand. Open new Raster layer below CU, and flood fill with color of choice.
Apply Filters Unlimited 2.0: Under the Navigator Tab select Paper Textures, in the next column over, select Fibrous Paper, Fine; change Intensity to 175 and click on Apply. This is your frame background layer
Activate your CU layer: select Selections>Invert, delete, Select None
If you do not want your CU to have a slight tint when we change the blend mode, do the following; other wise, you can skip this step.
Activate your CU layer: Selections>Select All, Selections>Float, Selections>Defloat, Activate your frame background layer and open New Raster Layer and flood fill your selection with black or white. (black will make your CU edges appear softer)
Activate your CU layer and apply Xero>Porcelain with these settings
change the Blend Mode to Luminance (L), Duplicate and change blend mode to Normal and
reduce the opacity to 65%
Activate your rectangle1 layer and, with your magic wand, select the transparent area around it.
Open p12: c&p, position to your liking and hit delete on your keyboard. I used the same paper for all the vertical rectangles (rectangles 1, 2 &3) and just moved it around for each rectangle. So, repeat these steps for 2 & 3 or use different papers for each one...
On the large rectangle, I used p9
On the circle, I used p8
On rectangle4, I used p7
Open doodle: c&p, position to your liking and arrange the layer to just above your background layer.
Open bottle: c&p, resize 65%, rotate 15o left, Adjust>Sharpness>Sharpen
Open bottle2: resize 60%, rotate 15o right and Sharpen, arrange layer below main tube layer
Open bow3: c&p, mirror, rotate 20o left, arrange the layer below your frame background and at the top, outer corner of your frame
Open lace2: c&p, position behind your frame and bow, duplicate and mirror
Open beads: c&p just below your rectangle4 background, resize 95%
Open fan: resize 75%, rotate 15o right, arrange layer below your doodle layer.
Open flower: c&p, duplicate, resize one at 75% and the other at 50%. Duplicate both and place to your liking.
Open heart2: c&p, resize 50%, arrange below the bow3 layer
Activate your background layer and open New Raster Layer and flood fill with a color of your choice; this will be your mask layer
Open your mask and minimize. Right click on your mask layer and scroll up to New Mask Layer> From Image and select Vaybs mask from the drop down menu
I used my pick tool set on Scale to adjust my mask to my liking.
Duplicate your main tube layer and apply Xero>Radiance with the default settings and reduce opacity to 40%, Merge down
Add your copyright and license number
If you want a drop shadow on any element or text, that you plan to animate, make sure that you have the Shadow on new layer box checked.
Merge your non animated layers between each layer that you are animating:
Make Visible Only your outer circle frame and all layers below it and Merge Visible, make Invisible
Make Visible Only the layer between your inner circle frame and the frame that we used from the kit, including the drop shadow to that frame, if you used one, Merge Visible, make Invisible
Now do the same with all the layers above your frame.
View all
Activate your constellation layer from your template and duplicate 2X, apply Constellation with these settings.
be sure to click on Random Seed for the second and third layer.
Activate your circle inner frame, duplicate 2X and apply Bright Noise set at 45 and mix, click on mix 2X for the second and third layers.
Activate your frame from the kit and duplicate 2 X.
With your Magic Wand set at these settings
Select your diamonds and make sure you don’t select the white bursts
Mine looked something like this
Apply Constellation with these settings
Make sure you click on Random Seed for the second and third layers
Name: I used the Multi-Aqua gradient, Angle: 255, Repeats: 0; rotate 15o to the right (It was a bit too bright for my liking with this tag so this is what I did) Convert to Raster, Duplicate. Changed the first layer to white with one simple step…Adjust>Hue and Saturation>Hue/Saturation/Lightness
Reduce the opacity of the second layer to 50%, Merge Down and Duplicate, name the first layer “name outline” and the second layer “name”.
Activate your name outline layer and apply Gradient Glow…select fat under the Color tab and these settings under the Basic tab.
Duplicate your layer 2X and apply Constellation with these settings
Make sure to click on Random Seed for the second and third layers.
Duplicate your name layer 2X and apply Bright Noise set at 40 and Mix, click on mix 2X for your second and third layers.
Now go back to all of your non animated layers that you merged and duplicate each 2X
Make Visible Only the first layer of each group, activate your first visible layer and Merge Visible, make this merged layer Invisible and repeat the above steps for the second and third layers.
Make all 3 layers visible
Crop and resize to your liking
For those of you who don’t know how to resize your image, click on advanced settings and make sure these boxes are checked
Either save as a .psd or a .psp (animation shop) file, or copy your first layer and Paste As New Animation in AS3, copy second layer and Paste After Current Frame and do the same with the third layer.
Select All, Frame Properties 13, Optimize
