I wrote this tut on 25th of sept,2009 for julies tutorials
Any resemblence to any other tutorials is purely coincidental.

supplies needed

you also need paintshop pro,i use version 12
A knowledge of paintshop pro is needed
animation shop
alien skin  xenofex 2 constellation trial find it here

scrapkit is called caramel blushes by dee
all elements are in the kit
tube of your choice or the one i used the one supplied in the kit
font of your choice mines called Aquarelle
mask of your choice or the one i used WSL MASK276 Go here

lets begin

Open a new image 640x480 one white background

Copy and paste a paper of your choice i used paper 6 and add a mask of your choice
I used WSL mask 276, apply a mask and a mask layer and merge group

Copy and paste doodle 4 as a new layer, duplicate and go to image and mirror

Copy and paste garden as a new layer and resize if needed

Copy and paste template 3 as a new layer and place behind garden

Copy and paste bow 7 as a new layer and resize to 300 pixels

Copy and paste butterfly 4 as a new layer and resize 200 pixels, duplicate twice, merge
the two layers together and duplicate again and go to image and mirror

Copy and paste swag 3 as a new layer and resize if needed and see my tag for placement

Copy and paste flower 12,13 and 14 and resize all of them to 200 pixels

Copy and paste a tube of your choice or use the poser that comes with the kit like I did

Duplicate your mask layer twice so you have three of them, click on your first mask
layer and close off mask layer 2 and 3


choose to colours from your tag and write out your text with a font of your choice


add any copyright and watermarks merge all layers and resize if needed,if you
want to animate carry on if not merge all layers and resize if needed
next go to file export and save as a JPEG and you're finished and thank you

if you want to animate

Go to effects plug-ins, alien skin xenofex 2 and then constellation using the default settings
and on mask layer 2 you need to press random seed once each time

Apply the effect and then close off mask layer 1 open mask layer 2 and do the same
with mask layer number 3

Close off mask layer 2 and 3 and click on mask layer 1, open animation shop

Back in paintshop right click to image and copy merged back into animation shop, click on
edit and paste as a new animation

go back paintshop close off mask layer 1 and open mask layer 2 and and repeat as above
with your last 2 layers once done you should have 3 frames, right click your image
and view your animation if happy


Click on edit, select all , animation and resize animation, I resized mine to 500 pixels

And you're finished, go to file and then save as a gif
