This tutorial is written as if you have a general knowledge on how to use the program.

***What you'll need***
Program of Choice.
I am using Photoshop CS5

But, if you know your tools you can use any program of choice

Tube of choice.
I am using the artwork of Jennifer Janesko

You must purchase a license to use her tubes and can do so HERE

I used a paper from the kit I'm using to color the blanket or dress that's covering her to match the kit

This is purely optional if you'd like to or not. You'd have to use a black and white image to do so as per TOUs

Scrapkit of Choice

I am using the scrapkit “Teal Dream” by ChiChi Designz

You can find this HERE

Mask of Choice

I am using Mask219 by Weescotslass Creations

You can find this for download HERE

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

Start a new canvas

600px by 600px

Flood fill with white.

Open frame3

Add to your canvas

Resize down by 65%

Add a drop shadow

Open Paper4

Add to your canvas

Use your magic wand to select inside the frame

Select → Modify → Expand, by 6

Invert the selection

On the paper layer press delete

Duplicate the paper layer

Filter → PhotoEffex → Scanlines

All at default, except the width, change to 3

Change the blend mode to soft light

Open PetalBrush

Add it in between the two paper layers a couple of times

Erase any that's outside of the frames

Open Paper3

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas just above the white background layer

Apply the layer mask here

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

Erase any of the tube that's outside the bottom of the frame

Have this just below the frame

Duplicate

Move this layer to just above the frame

Erase any of the tube that's over the frame

Filter → Blur → Gaussian Blur, 3.0px

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 let's continue!

Go to your diamonds and dangles layers

Duplicate each of them 3 times so you have a total of 4 of each layer

On the first layer of each

Filter → Eye Candy 4000 → HSB Noise

With the following settings:

You can use the same one on each of the two layers so you don't have to change the random seed for both

Repeat this though and when you're on the second layer of each hit random seed once

And on the third hit it once

and on the fourth hit it once

Then in the animation window have it set to go forever with a delay of .3 seconds

On the first layer hide all of the layers except for the bottom of each

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

Do this for the other layers

Press play and watch it go

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