Filters Needed
Xero – Clarity
Xero – Porcelain

~*~*~ Let's Get Started~*~*~

Open up a new canvas

600px x 600px.

Flood fill with white

Open Frame02

Copy and Paste onto your canvas and scale down to 65%

I added a bit of a bevel and an outer glow to mine as well as a drop shadow.

Open Paper09

Resize to 600px by 600px

Copy and paste onto your canvas and move this layer below your frame.

Use your magic wand and select inside of your frame

Select → Modify → Expand, by 5

Invert your selection and on the paper layer, press delete.

Open Paper07

Resize to 600px by 600px

Move this below your frame paper background and apply your mask here.

Now go to your tubes.

Select the one you would like on the outside of your frame.

I used the one titled “1”

Position and resize to your liking.

Filter → Xero → Clarity

All at Default.

Filter → Xero → Porcelain

All at default except the blue channel, slide that all the way to the left to 0.

Add a drop Shadow.

Now Go back to your tube and Copy and Paste Just the cat with wing (the one titled “4”) onto your canvas

Resize and position over the other tube so it looks like it's part of it

Once it's perfect do the same two filters as you did before.

Add an outerglow to this layer as well as a drop shadow.

Now we're going to go back to our tube and Get the kitten without the wing (layer “5”) and copy and paste it into your canvas.

Move this layer in between your frame and the paper frame background layers.

I flipped mine horizontally and then resize and reposition to your liking.

Once you have that, Ctrl + Click on your frame background paper thumbnail

Invert the selection and then on your new tube layer we've been working with press delete.

Change the blend mode to luminosity

Duplicate this layer.

On the new layer

Filter → Blur → Gaussian Blur, Radius of 5

Change the blend mode to overlay

Now we're just going to embellish a bit.

Do so to your liking and add drop shadow of choice.

Resize and position as you'd like to as well.

I used the following:

~ Between the mask and frame background layers~

String01 (no drop shadow)

~Above the frame but below the tube with the pumkins and light~

lollipop01

candy06

flower07

flower08

flower06

flower06

bow02

candy01

~Above the top tube layer~

Spider (I also added a bit of an outer glow here)

bow01

flower08

Add your name to your tag.

Image → Trim

Top left pixel color, all boxes checked.

Resize the image if you'd like to.

*****Most Important*****

Add your copyright info here!!

If you're not wanting to animate then hide the white background layer and save as a .png and you're done!

If you want to animate lets get started.

Go to your spider layer.

Duplicate it and “nudge” it 10 times. (with your move tool selected tap the up arrow key 10 times)

Duplicate this layer and nudge it 10 times, if you need to erase the bits of the string that extend above the bow and flower.

Duplicate again and nudge 10 times, erase the string.

I did this 9 times so that I have a total of 10 spider frames.

Now we're going to go to our tube image with the lightpost.

Zoom in a bit so we can see it well.

I used the polygonal lasso tool to select all the yellow parts of the post.

Ctrl+C

Ctrl+V

Duplicate the new layer.

On the original copied layer

Image → Adjustments → Black and White, just use the default settings.

Now hide all of the spider layers except the original spider you added.

Now we're going to go to our animation window.

(window → Animation)

I have my delay set to .15 seconds set to go forever.

Add a new animation layer.

Hide the original spider and unhide the first spider layer.

Go to your yellow light post pane layer and change the opacity of this one to 90%

Add a new layer in the animation window

Hide the spider you're one and unhide the next one up and change the opacity to 80%

Keep adding new layers and change the spider to the next one up and lowering the opacity by 10%

When you get to 0% you're going to start lowering your spider back down.

Once you get back to 80% your spider should be at the lowest point again so on the last animation layer only change the opacity of the flame layer to 90%

I ended with a total of 20 frames.

Press play to see your animation at work.

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

Thank you for trying my tut!

I'd love to see any tags made from it!

If you have any questions feel free to email me!

Thanks again and Huge hugs!

Add a new animation layer and nudge it 5 more times

Add a new layer and nudge it the same amount again, do this until your spider has reached the peak of how high you want it to go. (I did 5 frames so nudged it 4 times)

Add two more of the peak frames and don't change them.

Then add a new layer and nudge the spider back down 5 times.

Keep doing this until it's back to it's original position.

I actually went one time past the original position.

With your lowest point add two more frames to it....if you go to your original just add one more of the last frame.

Press play to see your animation at work.

~*~*~ Let's Get Started~*~*~

Open up a new canvas

600px x 600px.

Flood fill with white

Open up Frame1

Scaled down to 65%

Duplicate it twice so there are 3 frames.

Leave the top one alone

on the second one rotate it -25 degrees.

Now using your move tool (V)

Nudge the image to the left.

To do this just tap your left mouse button.

I did it 55 times.

On the bottom frame rotate it 25 degrees

And then nudge it to the right the same amount of times as you did the other.

Open paper1

Resize to 600px by 600px

copy and past onto your canvas.

Move below your frames.

Use your magic wand and select inside each of the three frames
Select ---> Modify ---> Expand, by 5

Invert your selection and on the paper layer invert and press delete.

Now go to your closeup of your tube and copy and paste it into your canvas.

Have this between your frames and your paper background for them.

Move it to the position you'd like.

Once you're hapy with the size and position erase any extra pieces that are outside the frame.

Duplicate this layer.

On the bottom one change the blend mode to luminosity, opacity at 75%

On the top one go to Filter ---> Blur ---> Gaussian Blur, raidus of 5.

Then change the blend mode to overlay, opacity at 20%.

Now hide all but the frame layers except the straight up and down one.

Copy and paste the more full body tube layer to your canvas.

Resize and position to your liking and then duplicate this layer.

Drag one below all of your frame.

Erase any parts that are outside of them and add a drop shadow.

To the top tube layer, erase any parts that are over the top of the frames that you don't want to be.

Then go

Filter ---> Xero ---> Porcelain

All at default except the blue channel, have it all the way to 0

Filter ---> Xero ---> Radiance

Do something subtle here that just brightens the tube back up.

Filter ---> Sharpen ---> Unsharp Mask

All at default settings.

Now bring all your frame layers back visible.

Merge the three together and add a drop shadow.

Open paper12

Resize to 600px by 600px.

Copy and paste into your canvas and drag this layer to just above the white background

apply the mask to this layer.

Now we're just going to embellish the tag to our liking.

I did so with the following.

I added a dropshadow and resized to how I wanted them.

In this order.

~Below the frames but above the frame backgrounds~

Element12 (I erased just a bit on the end of this one)

Element 11 (this is rotated)

Element 11 (I duplicated the previous one and flipped it horizontally)

~Above the frames below the top witch tube layer~

Element34

Element 39

Element 37

Element31

Element7

Element29

Element 28

Add your name to your tag.
