Flip Horizontally

Reposition on the canvas to your liking

Open pp1

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas just above the white background layer

Apply the layer mask here

Open your tube

I did recolor my clothing, the ipod and the hair streaks to match the kit a bit more

This is optional as well, there are plenty of colors that'd look good with this kit!

Add your tube to your canvas, resize and reposition to your liking

Duplicate

Filter → Blur → Gaussian Blur, 3.0px

Change the blend mode to soft light

To the bottom tube add a drop shadow

Add your tube in between the two pink paper layers

Resize and position as you'd like

Erase any that's outside the frame

Change the blend mode to luminosity

Lower the opacity of them to 50%

Now add which elements you'd like

I used the following from the bottom layer up with a drop shadow unless stated:

star 2 (no drop shadow)

star 2 (no drop shadow)

print 1 (no drop shadow)

ribbon 2

Add your name

Crop your tag to get rid of the access space that's not needed

Resize if you'd like to

****Most Important****

Add your copy right information

If you're happy with your result save to your liking and you're done!

Now if you want to animate!

Open your animation that you're using

Crop the image so only the right notes are showing

Select all the frames

Click Ctrl + G

(this just groups the layers and makes the more easy to move and what not)

Now drag this over to your main canvas

Have it just below the ipod layer

Hide all the frames aside from the first one

Got to your animation window

Have it set to repeat forever, the delay set to .1 seconds

Add a new layer and hide the first animation frame and unhide the second

Add a new layer and hide the second frame and unhide the third

Do this for all the frames

When you're at the last one just reverse the process to make it loop

Once you're done, press play to see it in action

If you're happy with the results save as a .gif and you're done!
