Sweetheart Tut
Gather ‘round,
my precious Tigerlilies, it’s time for another tut!
I know I
have been gone for quite a while, but I am back and ready for action!
I used Paint Shop Pro 9 and Animation
Shop 3 for my work. I also assume that you have a basic knowledge of both applications.
Also, please bear in mind that my tuts are my own creations, and any resemblance
to other tuts is entirely coincidental. Also, my tuts are guidelines. Please
feel free to add your own creativity.
Here are the items I used:
PSP and AS
Sweetheart tube from Verymany www.verymanytubes.com You need a
license to use the tube.
The PTU (Pay to Use) kit Sweet as Pie
from Pink Paradox Productions as www.pinkparadoxproductions.com
Rachel Designs Mask Set 121 Mask 3
You can get it here https://racheldesignsblog.wordpress.com/tag/masks/
The font I used is Grenadier which I
got at 1001 fonts
The filters I used were Eye Candy
Glass
Flaming Pear Lacquer
Penta Jeans
Keep in mind that you do not need to
use the exact same filters or fonts or kit elements. You do not need to use the
same kit or tube if you do not feel like it. Make the tag your own.
Let’s begin.
Open Paper 26, duplicate, close
original and resize copy to 70%.
New raster layer, floodfill white.
Apply mask.
Frame #8 resize 53% paste as new layer
Mirror Close Up view of tube. Paste
as new layer underneath frame.
Erase excess that is sticking out.
Layer Properties and then Luminance
Legacy
Apply Penta Jeans to your liking.
Elements
124 R/S 25%
126 Mirror R/S 20%
22 R/S 20%
23 R/S 20% slip into 22 and paste
behind
28 R/S 30%
16 R/S 23%
127 and 128 R/S 30%
1 R/S 55%
14 R/S 55%
Arrange how you like and apply your
drop shadows as you like on each layer.
You may like different sizes and elements than what I used. Have fun
with your elements.
Merge all and add your credits.
Now, if you want to do the animation,
feel free to do the glitter step. If now, feel free to just add some more
elements and then add your name.
Here is how I did the glittery
fireworks.
Use element 153 from the kit. And duplicate
it once.
For the larger one
Resize to 45%
Adjust and Sharpen
For the smaller one
Resize the copy to 20%
Adjust and Sharpen.
Duplicate each one twice. I find it
easier to do each animation separately.
Working with the big one first, you
have 3 copies. On the first copy, choose Adjust, Add Noise and pick a number. I
usually start around 55. I also usually choose Gausian. Once I have the glitter
done, I select COPY, then carry it over to AS and go to Edit and choose Paste
as New Animation.
A little secret about animation is
keeping the glitter close together. I chose 55 for my first number, so I never
want to go higher than 5. So my second copy needs to be 60. I add my noise and
when I get over to AS, I want to Paste After Current Frame.
My third one would be 65.
In order to make sure everything is
good with my three pictures that are now one animation, you can now go up to
the View Tab and select View Animation. Make sure your glitter is how you like
it and then we’ll paste it onto your tag.
So to past the glitter onto the tag,
you would carry a copy of the tag over to AS and duplicate it twice. The you
would go to the first frame of the firework animation and you would Select All
and Copy. Then you would Click in the first frame of the Tag you just
duplicated, choose select all, and then you would choose Paste into Selected
Frame. You would move your mouse (but
don’t click yet) and when you have it where you want it, then you would click
and the firework will show up in all three frames. Then you would click on View
Animation so you can see the animation.
If the tag satisfies you, then you
would follow the procedure for the smaller firework.
If you are ready, save your animation
as an MNG file. Saving it this way will fix it so that you optimize only once
when you add your name. That will cut down on gremlins.
You will need to add your names in
the same way – three copies. If you decide that you want glitter, you would glitter
using the same settings that you did on the fireworks.
Now, though, when you save, you will
save as a GIF. But when you switch to a new name, you will undo optimize and
undo paste.
For my lettering, I used glass on my
top layer and then I expanded my selection by 3, added a new raster layer and
floodfilled and applied Lacquer. I merged the two layers and drop shadowed.
I hope you had fun with this!
