If you're wanting to animate....

Open ELEM (74)
Add it to your tag and position it inside the frame

Once you have it where you want it
Rotate it so that it looks like a flat kiss coming from the tube

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!!

*****Most Important*****
Add your copyright information

If you're happy with your results save to your liking and if you don't want to animate you're done!!

If you DO want to animate though let's keep going.

Now we're going to go to The layer in our pallate where the Element22 is.
Go ahead and duplicate it twice so that you have 3 of the layer.
On the two new ones, move them around to new positions on the canvas that still look good.
Go ahead and rehide the top two, just leaving the original one showing.

We're going to go to our animation window, set the delay on this animation to .1 seconds and forever.

On our first frame change the opacity of our bottom sparkles layer to 50%
Add a new animation layer and change opacity to 60%
Add a new animation layer and change opacity to 70%
Add a new animation layer and change opacity to 80%
Add a new animation layer and change opacity to 90%
Add a new animation layer and change opacity to 100%
Add a new animation layer and change opacity to 90%
Add a new animation layer and change opacity to 80%
Add a new animation layer and change opacity to 70%
Add a new animation layer and change opacity to 60%
Add a new animation layer and change opacity to 50%
On this same layer click on the eye icon next to the second sparkles layer to unide it and change the opacity to 10%
Add a new animation layer on the first sparkles layer change the opacty to 40% and on the second 20%
Add a new animation layer on the first sparkles layer change the opacty to 30% and on the second 30%
Add a new animation layer on the first sparkles layer change the opacty to 20% and on the second 40%
Add a new animation layer on the first sparkles layer change the opacty to 10% and on the second 50%
Now, hide your first sparkles layer and continue just like we did with the first layer on the second and then when you need the next layer unhide the last sparkle layer and use it and repeat the process but, instead of adding a new layer when you'd get back down to when you need to bring in the new layer, go back to the very first frame and add the third sparkle to it but, set at 10%

Press play to see your sort of fading in and out sparkle effect.

If you're happy with what you've done then save as a .gif and you're done!!!

Here is a sample of the non animated one :)

~~~Let's get Started~~~
Open a new canvas 600px by 600 px.
Flood fill with white.

Open frame3
Copy and paste into your canvas.
Scale down by 50% and rotate -10 degrees.
Reposition to the upper left of your canvas.
Duplicate this layer.
Rotate by 25 degrees and position in the lower left of your canvas just slightly over lapping the first frame.

Open pp2.
Resize to 600px by 600px
Copy and paste into your canvas
Drag this layer below your frames.
Using your magic wand selecting inside each of your frames
Select inverse and press delete on your paper layer.
Add a Drop Shadow to your two frames.

Open your tube.
Copy and paste into your canvas.
Resize and position it behind the first frame we put up until it's to your liking
Duplicate this layer and flip horizontal.
Resize and position behind the second frame
Once you're happy with their position
Ctrl + Click the tumbnail of the frame background to select it
Select inverse and on each of your tube layers click delete.
Erase any parts that may have overlapped both frames.
Change the blend mode to luminostiy and the opacity to 50% on each of them.

Copy and paste your tube into your canvas again.
This time it's going to go above your frames.
Resize and position as desired.
Filter ---> Xero ---> Porcelain
All at default except the blue channel, set at 0.

Filter ---> Xero ---> Radiance
Use your own settings here.
Something subtle that just brights up the tube a bit.

Fitler ---> Sharpen ---> Unsharp Mask
At default settings.

Add a drop shadow.

Open pp1.
Resize to 600px by 600px.
Copy and paste into your canvas.
Drag this layer to just above the white background
Apply your mask.

Now we're going to add the elements with a Drop shadow.
Do so to your liking but, to do the animation make sure you add couldron to your tag.
Also resize and position to your liking as well

I used the following with a drop shadow:

In between my mask and frame back layers:

smoke1 (I added a bit of a white outer glow to this one as well to help it pop a bit)
branch3
swirl1
moon.

Now above the frame and tube layers I added the following with a drop shadow:
Key
cauldron
broom
bow2
Flower 1 (duplicate)
Branch2 (on this one position so it looks like rose leaves and then erase the parts that are extra, duplicate and rotate around and place this behind the duplicated flower1)
spell books
branch4
potion2
potion8
potion7

Add your name to your tag.
Image ---> Trim
Top left Pixel color, all boxes checked.
Reisize if you'd like to.

Add your copyright info!!!

Now We're going to focus on the animation!
Go to your cauldron layer.
Duplicate it 2 times so you have 3 cauldrons.
Hide the top two layers.
Take your smudge tool.
Get a soft round brush.
I did a size of 13px with the mode at normal and the strength at 50%
go to the 'smoke' in the cauldron and swirl it around, drawing various little swoops outside of it.
Make sure you don't go into the black of the cauldron though since we want that remaining the same!
Do that with each of your layers.

Go to your animation window and make a 3 layer animation with each of the different cauldrons on the three animation layers.
I did mine to loop forever with the delay at .30 secs.
Press play and when you're happy with your smoke animation
Save it and Wah-lah!
You're done!!

I'd love to see what you've come up with!!
