ROCK my world

For this tutorial I have used the Music of Love kit from Moonlight Laura which can be purchased HERE
Vix mask 326 which can be found in my quick links (please add this to your mask folder)
The artwork of Keith Garvey which can be found in my quick links.

• Remember to save your work often!
• To begin first pick a paper that you would like to use to make your mask. I used paper #6
• Apply your mask.
• Merge Group
• Copy
• Paste as new image. Add a drop shadow. I used 4, 4, 100, 10, black. Then I inverted it as a -4, -4, 100, 10, black
• Open background paper. I used #27. Place this under your mask
• Open Music Notes 32 and resize 50%.Place on top of your background layer and under your mask layer on the left side of your mask. Add a 4,4,100, 10 black drop shadow. Merge Down
• ***Duplicate, Move to fill more of the inside of yours mask*** Repeat as needed to fill your mask. Merging down each duplication,
• You should still have only 2 layers.
• Open MusicNoteStrand
• Paste on top of background and under mask as before. Duplicate and move as before for the effect you would like with a drop shadow and merging down so as to keep 2 layers.
• Use freehand selection tool now and connect the bottom tips of the hearts of the frame. Try to do this very carefully and remember you can always start over if needed..
• Once you have it connected and you have your marching ants around the frame I want you to go to selections > Invert
• Now click on your background layer in your layers pallett and hit the delete key on your keyboard.
• This should insure everything you have done other then the mask frame is INSIDE your mask.
• Open and add any other elements that you would like over your mask. I have used the mic and one of the gutairs. Each with a drop shadow.
• Open your tube of choice and add to the right side also over your mask.
• Add all wording and copyrights
• resize
• Save tag as a png file.

Notesbylori (Which I made and have included below)

• Open Scroll 1, resize 45%
• Paste on the right side of canvas. Transparancy at 75

• Place in the top left hand corner.
• Using the freehand selection tool while having the scroll layer selected, trace around the part of the scroll that shows through the mirror. Hit delete.
• Select None
• While still on the scroll layer... Merge Down. This should give you 2 layers.
• Open Piano 1, resize 40%. Place on top of the mirror layer, in the lower left corner.

• Copy and paste between the other 2 layers. Duplicate and move it around so you have the tag covered in a sporadic way,
• Hide Background and top layers
• Merge Visible... this will put all your musical notes on one layer so now you should have 3 layers.
• Unhide all
• Copy Merged
• ********
• Paste into Animation Shop as a New Animation.
