Lifetime

For this tutorial I used the beautiful work of Julie from BitsNBobs through the kit 'She Dreams' which can be found HERE
Eye Candy Impact 5:Gradiant Glow

Lets get started.

• First OPEN your bubble of choice, we all know I love purple so we know which one I chose Ü and resize it 150%. (This is to make it easier to work with while we go.)
• Create a new raster layer, transparent
• Using your ELLIPSE TOOL Create a circle the same size as the bubble outline dark gray and inside what ever background you would like for your bubble. I used a purple with the texture of wet leaves. Since you made this on a new layer you can switch to the PICK TOOL to resize your circle if need be.
• In order if what I added to my bubble I have the Element 5 (leaves), Curled ribbon 1, wings 1 and dress 2. I only added a small drop shadow to the dress because I liked the way the rest of it turned out without one.
• I flood filled my background with a landscape like fill
• Added a few stars
• Wording I used Brock Script with a GRADIENT GLOW of soft white 7.5 width.
• Added my mark (Don't forget copyrights if needed)
• RESIZE (I did 50%)
• SAVE

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial Blessed Be, and don't forget to share your results! Lorilynn

Splashing good time

For this tutorial I used the Slish Splash Splosh Kit from Gemini Creationz which can be found HERE

Lets get started....

• First I opened my frame of choice which was frame 2
• I opened a new transparent canvas and flood filled it with what I thought would make a nice 'water' color with a 75% transparency. I then freehand selected (cut) some off of the top to make a water ripple effect. It took me a few tries to get this right so play around with it.
• I copied the water layer and placed it behind my frame and trimmed off the over hang the same way I did with the ripple waves, then I added a slightly darker blue drop shadow to the water.
• I found a gravel picture on photo bucket and cut it the same way to make the bottom of my 'fishbowl effect'.
• From here I just added assorted elements from the kit and placed them where I wanted them all with a slight black drop shadow.
• Once I had the basic look I desired I wanted to make my word art. To do this I picked a very light grey for my foreground and a transparent background, and using my preset shape tool made a circle around the inside of the frame. Next I stretched it out just a touch so my words would be totally inside the frame.
• Useing my test tool, I clicked on the circle I had made when I saw the semicircle under the A (font tool) this means you are writing on the curve. I added my text. I had to tweek this a few times as well till I got it where I wanted it.
• COPY MERGED and place on your background of choice, I picked the light yellow because it seemed nice and sunny to me.
• I added my mark (dont forget any copyrights you may need to add) and the name for my tag. Resize and SAVE!

All done I hope that you had fun with this. Blessed be dear friends

Me so happy

And the winner is...

Time 2 Play

• For this tutorial I used the iPod template from Bits N Bobs which can be found HERE
• I used the wonderful Artword of Keith Garvey which can be found HERE
• I used the plug in Gradient Glow from Eye Candy Impact which can be found HERE
• Animation Shop
• Let's Begin...
• First open your Ipod template. You should see it in several layers. To colorize this what you are going to do is selcect one of the layers in the layers pallett (I am useing the base unit for my preview) With your magic wand click on the base layer. You will see marching Ants around your base.. Selections>Float>Defloat. New Raster Layer Blend of OVERLAY. Flood Fill with color/pattern/gradiant of choice. Unslect all. You will do this for every layer you wish to color.
• RESIZE to about 20% this should make your tag pretty close to 100% which is where you would like it.
• HIDE the screen layer but clicking on the eye next to it in the layers pallet
• MERGE VISABLE (this is to make things easier to find)
• UNHIDE the screen layer.
• Open your tube and place it between the two layers.
• New rater layer
• Add all copyright information now
• New Raster layer
• Add wording for tag and if you want add the gradiant glow now. Have fun with it, whatever you want.
• If you want your tag NON ANIMATED this is where you STOP and SAVE your tag
• ANIMATED TAG
• COPY MERGED and paste as a new animation in Animation shop
• BACK to PSP
• This is where you can change your tube or text by deleting the corasponding layers. Each time you do this add a new Raster layer to replace the old one and use one for the text, tube what ever you would like to replace.
• COPY MERGED and then in Animation shop PASTE after current frame. You are going to want to do everything under copy merged for each new frame you would like. I had 4 because I used 4 diffrent tubes.
• RUN your animation. This is where you decide if you would like to slow it down. I always do for things like this So CTRL+A to select all and go to ANIMATION>Frame Properties I usually use about a 65 for pics and a 100 for words, so since this one had both I went with 100.
• RUN your animation again
• SAVE as a .gif
• Hope you enjoyed learning how to colorize a template as well as working on some animation again.
• Happy Earth Day and Blessed Be
