Now if you're wanting to animate follow the next steps, if not you can do it to add some sparkle or skip it, whatever works for what you'd like to do :)

Hide the very top tube layers along with the white background

Ctrl + A (selects the whole canvas)

Edit → Copy Merged

Paste

You may need to reposition your new layer of the merged image so it's directly over the other

Now Ctrl + click on the thumbnail of this image so that you select just around this one

I added a new layer here a filled the selection with black

Now you can delete our merged image

Duplicate the black layer 3 times so we have a total of 4 layer of them

On the bottom one

For the settings just go over to Settings along the top, small star constellation

Do this for the other 3 layers, just make sure you click random seed once for each one

Hide all but the very first layer of these for now.

Unhide the two tube layers

Open up Puppy and add to your canvas

Resize and reposition where you'd like to

Once you're happy with this

Add a drop shadow that you'd like

Use the Quick Selection Tool and select just the puppy's nose

Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V

You may need to adjust it's position once again so it's back where it belongs

Duplicate this nose layer twice

Change all three blend modes to vivid light

Merge them together

You may need to do a bit of cleanup and erase little bits around the nose

For now though just hide this layer.

Now if you'd like to animate let's get to that, we're all ready and set

Open your animation window, everything should be ready for frame one if you closed out all the ones I mentioned previously so, add a new animation window

Leave the dog nose hid for now but, hide the first frame of the sparkles and unhide the second frame

Add a new animation layer, hide the second frame and unhide the third frame, unhide the dog nose layer as well

Add a new animation layer, hide the third frame and unhide the fourth frame, leave the dog nose layer as is

Add a new animation layer, hide the fourth frame and unhide the first frame, hide the dog nose layer as well

Add a new animation layer, hide the first frame and unhide the second frame, leave the dog nose layer as is

Add a new animation layer, hide the second frame and unhide the third frame, unhide the dog nose layer as well

Add a new animation layer, hide the third frame and unhide the fourth frame, leave the dog nose layer alone

You should now have 8 layers of animation frames

Now set the delay to .2 sec and set to go forever

Press play and watch the sparkles go and the nose blink

Save as a .gif and you're done!

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

Start a new canvas

600px by 600px

Flood fill with white.

Open Frame3

Add to your canvas and scale down by 70%

Add a dropshadow.

Open Paper3

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas below your frame.

Use your magic wand to select inside of your frame windows, make sure to get all the little spots in the middle.

Select → Modify → Expand, by 5, invert your selection

On the paper Layer press delete.

Open Paper4

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas below the other paper layer we added

Add your mask to this paper.

Open your tube up and add it to the left two panes of your window frame

It'll be between the frame layer and the yellow paper layer

Flip it horizontally

Erase any parts that are outside of them, including possibly overlapping into the other two

Change the blend mode to Hard Light and the opacity to 80%

Open Sunlight

Add this just above the tube we'd just added.

Flip it horizontally and position it so that it looks like it's coming from the top left corner of your canvas.

Resize down if you'd like to.

Erase any that you can see on the far right of your canvas that is completely outside the frame.

Change the blend mode to soft light.

Add your tube to your canvas again.

This time it will be the very top layer.

Resize and position to your liking.

I erased the little bit of her back foot to make it look like she's stepping out of the frame.

Once you have this where you like it duplicate your tube layer.

On the bottom one add a drop shadow

On the top one

Filter → Blur → Gaussian Blur, 3.0 px

Change the blend mode to overlay

Now add which elements you'd like

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

Flowers2 (no drop shadow)

Swirl (no drop shadow)

Leaves1

Branch2 (no drop shadow)

Ribbon1

Fairy 2 (change the blend mode to overlay and it's currently hidden for animation later)

****Most Important****

Add your copy right information

Now to animate, we're going to go to our animation window, in CS5

Set the delay to .2 sec, repeat forever.

Leave the first frame as is.

Add another frame and move the fairy out from the frame just a bit

Add another frame and move her out just a bit more again

Add another frame and move her out a bit more

Add another frame and move her a bit more.

Add another and move her a bit

Add another and move her a bit

Add another a move her a bit

Add another a move her a bit more

Add another but, this time don't move her, change the opacity to 75%, the delay to .3 sec

Add another frame and change the opacity to 50%

Add another and change the opacity to 75%

Add another and change the opacity to 100%

Add another frame, change the delay back to .2 sec and move her back just a bit

Add another and move her back a bit more

keep doing this until you'd be back where she's hidden again at the beginning.

I did one of the half body ones and position it how you'd like it in your frame once you're happy with that duplicate it.

Have one about your frame and one below.

On the one below erase any of the tube that's outside of the frame and add a drop shadow

On the one above erase any parts that are outside the frame at the bottom as well as on the frame itself.

Add the same drop shadow as you did to the other one.

Then add the following filters

Filter → Xero → Porcelain

All a default except the blue channel set to 0

Filter → Xero → Radiance

Hit random until you find something that is subtle that you like for you tube and tag.

Filter → Sharpen → Unsharp Mask

All at default

Now we're just going to add the elements we want to, to the tag
