Paint Your Dreams

For this tutorial I used
the beautiful Starving Artiest Kit from Bits N Bobs which can be purchased HERE
the wonderful artwork of Suzanne Woolcott which can be purchased HERE
the mask I believe to be PSP X2 stock and I have included it in the tutorial, if it is NOT stock and the mask is your creation PLEASE let me know so I can correct this post.

Let us begin...
OPEN a NEW canvas I used 800x800 flood filled black
PASTE your rainbow as you would like it, I dropped mine down to a 75% transparency for the effect I wanted.
PASTE any other embellishments you would like. I used the bubbles and sparkels, with a 80% transparency and the disco ball as is at 100%
ADD Copyrights and wording (remember to stay away from the edges as your mask will delete them and you do not want to lose your copyrights!)
MERGE ALL
APPLY Mask
Save as a .png file.

I hope you enjoyed this simple tut! Have a blessed day ~Lorilynn

Lets get started...

• First choose your background paper, I used #8 but you can pick what ever you like.
• Now you are going to PASTE your center of choice as a new layer. I used doodle 3, you could use anthing here the doodles, blings sparkles whatever you want. You may have to strech it to make it fit the way you would like.
• Personally I felt my bacground was to dark so I put it at a 50% transparancy and I added a drop shadow to my doodle. Then I MERGED ALL
• Save this as your base layer.
• Add new RASTER LAYER and then COPY this layer and PASTE it as a new image.
• This will be the beginings of your foreground layer,
• You can choose any of the frames privided or make one of your own, I used the ribbon doodle 1 to make my own frame.
• Add whatever embelishments or tubes you would like to acchieve the look you are going for. With such light colors I always use a drop shadow to make them each stand out a bit more. Layer everything as you would like. I have my tube under the frame and the rest on top of it. Dont forget all wording and copyrights.
• When you have this how you would like it to look open up the Water Reflection program.
• IN this you want to open your BASE layer
• Hit the elips looking thing one the left and select the whole image by left clicking on each corner and then right click to get your ants.

• Using the Rain/Snow you want to make a light rain shower, I used the settings below but you can tweek them he wy you would like.
• 
  
• SAVE this base as a GIF
• Go to Animation shop and open your base, take notice as to how many layers there are.
• Back in PSP COPY Merged everything you have on the frame layer all at once, and PASTE it as a new animation in Animation Shop
• CTRL+ SHIFY + L until your frame layer matches your base layer.
• On the frame Layer CTRL + A to select all and CTRL + C to copy

Summer Lovin'

• For this tag I used the following:
• 'Whimsy Butterfly Garden' kit from Gemini Creationz which can be found HERE
• The beautiful and playful artwork of Suzanne Woolcott complamented this kit so well so I picked her and her artwork can be purchesed HERE
• Animation shop
• First I picked my background blue paper and the green that I used for the grass.
• On the green paper take your freehand draw tool with the following settings and just drew a softly rolling grassy area

• Copy this area and paste it at the bottom of your background blue so as to make grass and sky.
• Next I added the fence area. I decided I did not want it solid so I placed them sporatically across the 'grass' and applied a 3, 3, 100, 10 BLACK drop shadow (these are the drop settings I used for the remainder of my peices for this tag.)
• Next I used the ivy to run between the fence, I switched the layers on some of the fence peices so the ivy was twining through it,. Drop Shadow again
• Next I added FRAME-1 with a drop shadow
• Now I added the elsements of choice Flowers, Bees, Butterflies, Bird Bath, Sun layering when needed and also with a drop shadow
• Now I added my playful tube.
• Add your copyrights if needed as well as your watermark (mine is the daisy on my lil girls knee)
• MERGE ALL
• Copy this and paste it to Animation shop (we will call this your art layer)
• BACK TO PSP
• Add your text you would like Summer lovin worked well for me as I am a Grease fan Ü, as well as the name of whom the tag so for.
• Make sure you have the text layer active and copy this to animation shop.(your text layer)
• On the blue line around your text right click to your popup menu and select Insert Image Transition
• I chose Blinds 2.0 sec and 14fps... this gave me 29 frames (28 for the transition and 1 for the full text)
• Activate your art layer and right click the blue line and on the menu hit copy
• Hold down "Ctrl+Shift+L" Till you have 29 layers of your art frame.
• Go back to the text layer "Ctrl+A" to select all and "Ctrl+C" to copy
• On the Art layer "Ctrl+A" and then "Ctrl E" to past into selcted frame.
• Make sure you do not click again until you have the text where you would like it to appear.
• CTRL+A again.. Animation in the toolbar and then resize animation to the size you prefer if you have not already done so
• RUN & SAVE
• Hope you enjoyied I know I love this kit!
• Blessed Be ~Lorilynn
