This is my own creation and any resemblance to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.
Under no uncertain terms are you allowed to make money from anything produced from this tut, this is against my TOU
For this tutorial you will need:
2 Tubes of your choice I am using the awesome artwork of Barbara Jensen which you must have a license to use you can get one at HER SITE
*These tubes were a bonus with purchase which aren't available, Sorry*
Paper and Elements are from a scrap kit called MzKitty by Cora, which you can purchase HERE
Template is by Kristin. Its template #54, which you can download HERE
Open up the template, duplicate and close the original
Now delete the background, rickrac, words1 and top credit layers
Image / Canvas Size / 620 x 590
Open up a paper of your choice
Highlight the circle layer of your template
Selections / Select All
Selections / Float
Selections / DeFloat
Copy and paste the paper as a new layer
Selections / Invert and hit your delete key
Selections / Select None
Delete the original circle layer and give your new paper one a dropshadow of your liking
*Repeat this for the rectangle layer at the bottom in your layer pallet, using the same paper*
Open up the glitter dots, copy and paste these as a new layer, resize by 90%
Then drag these underneath your circle layer in your layer pallet and give them a nice healthy dropshadow
Now open up a different paper and the paint from the kit, resize the paint by 85% and resize the paper to 590 x 590
On the paint image
Image / Canvas Size / 600 x 600
Selections / Select All
Selections / Float
Selections / DeFloat
Copy and paste the paper as a new layer
Selections / Invert and hit your delete key
Selections / Select None
Now copy and paste this paint as a new layer on to your template image and drag this to the bottom in your layer pallet, then give this a nice healthy dropshadow
Open up the white glitter from the kit, and resize this to 580 x 580
Select your words2 layer in your layer pallet
Selections / Select All
Selections / Float
Selections / DeFloat
Copy and paste the glitter as a new layer
Selections / Invert and hit your delete key, then delete the original words layer and give your glitter one the same healthy dropshadow
*Repeat this for the paw prints, using a different colour glitter from the kit, and use the same dropshadow*
Open up one of the fish bones and a bow of your choice, copy and paste these as new layers and resize them to your liking, once your happy place these at the top left hand corner of your paint and place the pw on top of the bones, I rotated mine slightly and I used the deformation tool for this
Then open up the Purr wording, copy and paste this as a new layer, again resize to your liking and place this at the bottom right hand corner of the paint, give this a dropshadow
I added wording Make Me on the bottom left hand corner, using a couple of glitters from the kit, this is entirely up to you
Add a new layer and add your name and copyright
Now in your layer pallet cross out your circle layer and everything underneath
Layers / Merge / Merge Visible and then cross this merged layer out
Now uncross everything underneath your circle layer but leave your circle layer crossed out
Layers / Merge / Merge Visible uncross all your layers and you should be left with 3
Now open up your 2 tubes, I used close ups but again this is up to you
Now duplicate them both and give them healthy dropshadows, then make sure that one is facing left and the other right
On your template image highlight your circle layer
Selections / Select All
And now use your selections tool and click anywhere on your canvas, this will make the circle float without the dropshadow
going any darker
Selections / Float
Copy and paste your tube that is facing left first, and place this to the right in your circle
Selections / Invert and hit your delete key
Selections / Invert again, then copy and paste your other tube that is facing right and place this to the left in your circle
Selections / Invert and hit your delete key
Selections / Select None
To make this easier animating, in your layer pallet rename your top tube layer 1 and your bottom tube layer 2
Crop your image
Now comes the animation LOL Ready?
Now in your layer pallet, lower the opacity of your bottom left facing tube '2' to 0
Edit / Copy Merged
Over in AS paste as a new animation
Back in PSP
Lower the opacity of your layer '1' tube to 90
and Up the opacity of your layer '2' tube to 10
Edit / Copy Merged
Over in AS paste after current frame
Back in PSP
Lower the opacity of your layer '1' tube to 80
and Up the opacity of your layer '2' tube to 20
Edit / Copy Merged
Over in AS paste after current frame
*Continue this until you have gone all the way down to 0 on layer '1' and all the way Up to 100 on layer '2'. You must go up and down in units of 10 otherwise the finished animation will look funny*
Once your happy and you have 11 frames over in AS
