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

Start a new canvas

600px by 600px

flood fill with white

Open frame04

Rotate 90 degrees

Free transform and lower just the width to 80%

Then we're going to resize the whole frame down to 80%.

Take your tube and add it around the frame where you're wanting to.

Merge them all together and then delete the parts of the tubes outside of the frame

Change the blend mode of the tubes layer to soft light.

Add a drop shadow to the frame

Open paper05

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas

Drag below your frame layers.

Use your magic wand to select inside the frame

Select → modify → expand, by 5

Invert the selection and press delete on the paper layer.

Deselect

Open paper 04

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas and drag to just above the white background layer

Apply your layer mask here.

Add your frog tube to your image again to where you'd like to

Once you're happy with the position and size add a drop shadow of choice

Add the butterfly tube to the upper right corner of the canvas to your liking as well

Add a drop shadow.

Now just embellish and add the elements you'd like to to your tag.

grass02 (no drop shadow)

flower12

scatter02 (no drop shadow)

branch01

Add word art if you're wanting to.

Add a new layer and flood fill with black, change the blend mode to screen.

Filter → xenofex 2 → Constellation

With the following settings:

 Add your name

Image → Trim

Top left pixel color, all boxes checked

Resize if you'd like to

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

Add your copyright information

Now Go to you animation window, delay set at .15sec, set to repeat forever

Leave the first frame alone

Add a new frame and move the butterfly just a bit

Add a new frame and move it a bit more.

Keep doing this until the butterfly has moved back around to where it orginally was so it sort of has a looping feel to it.

I have 42 frames total.

When you're happy with your animation save as a .gif and you're done!!!
