Invert the selection and on the paper layer, press delete

Get your tube the way you want it and add it to your tag

****Most Important****

Add your copy right information

If you're not wanting to animate....

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

If you're wanting to animate....

Open ELEM (74)

Add it to your tag and position it inside the frame

I added an outer glow to mine to make it pop just a bit more

Once you have it where you want it

Rotate it so that it looks like a flat kiss coming from the tube

Resize down a bit too, I did mine around 73%

Duplicate this layer 8 times so you end up with a total of 9 layers

On the first copy scale down by 90%

On the second 80%

On the third 70%

On the fourth 60%

On the fifth 50%

On the sixth 40%

On the seventh 30%

On the eighth 20%

Reposition if you're needing to a bit, to get the ALL to move make sure you highlight all 9 layers and then move and it'll reposition it all.

Now hide all of the layers except for the smallest lip kiss.

We're going to go to the animation window.

Have the delay set to .15 sec and to repeat forever.

Add a new layer and hide the first layer we used and unhide the next biggest

Keep adding layers and going up until we're too our biggest lips

Leave that one open and add a new layer after it change the blend mode to 90%

Add another and change the blend mode to 80%

Keep adding layers and lowering it by 10 until you're at 10%

Once you add another one just hide it completely and change the delay to .5 sec

Press play to see your animation go and if you're happy with it you're done!!

Save as a .gif and Way to go!!
