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

Start a new canvas

600px by 600px

Flood fill with white.

Open tub

Add to your canvas

Add a drop shadow

Open your tube and add her to your canvas

Resize and reposition so that it looks like she's sitting on the edge of the tube

Duplicate once you're happy with this

On the top one

Filter → Blur → Gaussian Blur, 3.0 px

Change the blend mode to soft light

To the bottom tube add a drop shadow

Open mirror frame

Add to your canvas below the tub

Resize down by 81%

position to the left of the tub

sort of like my tag

Add a drop shadow

Open pp7

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas

Use your magic wand to select inside the frame

Select → Modify → Expand, by 4

Invert the selection

On the paper layer press delete

Deselect

Duplicate this paper layer

Filter → Xero → Fritillary

With the following settings:

Granularity – 5

Aggression – 16

Tesselation – 70

Variation - 109

Change the blend mode to overlay

Open pp10

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas just above the white background layer

Apply the layer mask here

In between the paper frame background layers and the mirror frame

Add your tube once more

I flipped mine horizontally

position to your liking

I sort of did it to look like a reflection in a mirror

Erase any that is outside the frame

Change the blend mode to luminosity

Lower the opacity to 50%

Now add which elements you'd like

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

print 2 (no drop shadow)

print 1 (no drop shadow)

ribbon 1

ribbon 1

purse

drink

towels

bottle 4

candles 1

perfume

heart

locket

flower 3

rubber ducky

flower 2

flower 1

bow 1

bow 4

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're wanting to animate we're going to continue on!

Open up your animations

Select all of your frames of both of them and click alt + G

This just selects them all as a group

On the bubbles one, if you're using the animation without the shadow go ahead and add the shadow you used on your tag here.

Now add the bubbles to your tag

Resize and reposition as you'd like to.

Mine I just slightly bigger than the mirror frame

It is positioned just above this frame as well

Close all of the frames except for the very first frame once you're happy with the size and position

Now add the flame

Rotate is Counter Clockwise 90 degrees

Have this just above your candle 1 layer

Resize and reposition so it looks like it's on the wick of one of the candles

(I did the one on the left first since it's just slightly bigger of the two)

Once you're happy with how that looks

Duplicate this and move it over to the other wick and resize it so it's just a bit smaller

Hide all of the frame except for the first one of each

Now open up your animation window

have it set to go forever and the delay set to .1

Add a new layer and hide the first layer and unhide the second layer of each of them

Add a new layer and hide the second layer and unhide the third layer of each of them

You're going to continue this until you have all of the layers done.

For the flames, there is not as many as there is bubbles, just revere the frames and go back down once you're to the top.

Once all the bubbles are done I didn't like how it just sort of ended and started over so I duplicated all the frames and of the new ones I reversed the animation

Press play to watch it go.

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