The Art I am using is by Angela Newman and can be found Here
My Supplies Here
Filters : Alien Skin= Xenofex 2 - Constellation
Drop Shadow = DS = 2,2,50,5 black
1 Close-up, 1 Regular
Let's Begin
900 X 900
1.) EL 18 -- Copy and Paste = C&P as New Raster layer = NRL -place in center
2.) With Magic Wand--click in center of frame-selections-modify-expand X30 - P4 (or one of your Choosing) C&P as NRL place on frame- Invert (frame) delete (on paper) Select None = SN. - place paper layer below frame-- DS both
3.) 2 colors from tube--add a NRL above paper layer -- find a nice brush that would look good,and add a few,(if you want to rearrange them add a new layer each time you use your brush.) Do not add DS.
4.) Close - up Tube- C&P as NRL - place in center of your frame, move it below--Duplicate = Dup.--Adjust--Blur -- Motion blur-Angle = 105. --strength -- 51--Blend Mode =BM= Multiply-- Opacity = OP = 80 Merge Down = MD, BM = Luminance --
    (Legacy) -- OP = 75 add DS-- Close off bottom Layer-- Merge Visible = MV - rename =frame
5.) EL 16 --- C&P as NRL --place on frame--with raster deform tool -- stretch to fit.--EX.1-- DS
6.) EL. 4 --- C&P as NRL - Place on top -- DS
7.) EL 32 -- C&P as NRL - place below frame layer --DS-- Dup. - mirror -- flip- MD
8.) EL 33 -- C&P as NRL --place on left side -- DS -- Dup. - Resize = R = 80% - mirror - place this one a little down -- Tag Reference = TR.
 9.) EL. 34 -- - C&P as NRL -  DS--place it on bottom of frame-- move layer below the frame -- TR - Dup. -- mirror ---MD  
10.) EL 29 - - C&P as NRL -Mirror -- place it on left top -DS - Dup.= mirror- flip-MD -- move layer below # 7.
11.) EL 17 - R = 80% X2--sharpen-- C&P as NRL -place on left bottom-- DS -- Dup. --R =80% - Place next to other-- Dup. this one and mirror -- flip - place on the top right --Dup. R = 80% - sharpen - place this one next to the other -- TR -- MD
12.) EL 9 -- R = 60% -- unsharp mask-- C&P as NRL --- place on bottom center-- DS - TR
13.) EL 37 - R = 80% -- unsharp mask-- C&P as NRL - DS --place on top of frame-- Dup. and flip--place this layer below lantern-- TR
14.) EL 7 - - C&P as NRL -place on left side top -- mirror -- flip--DS - move layer right above bottom
15.) EL 23- R = 60% -- Unsharp mask -- - C&P as NRL --place on left bottom--NO DS-- Dup. -- R = 80% - place on top left -- free rotate-- Right -- 120 -- TR
16.) Tube -- full - - C&P as NRL - place on right side -- DS -- TR
17.)  El 25 - C&P as NRL - place top right-- Dup-- mirror -- flip 
18.) Close both Butterfly layers and bottom layer -- MV --all layers -- R = 56%- sharpen -- add paper of choice,then add a mask -- when your happy crop- opaque-- delete mask and then ungroup layers.
19.) If you don't want to animate then open all layers and MV..-- Add all Copy right info. --Name and save as PNG. if you want to animate keep going
20.) Do not MV all layers, you may merge all layers but Butterfly layers, when this is done, you need to grab your Freehand Selection tool - these settings-- point-to-point-- add shift -- feather =1 -- Smoothing = 0 -- anti alias checked-- go around both butterflies--after this is done -Dup. both 2X = 3 layers-each- dont forget to rename them --on so now you should have butterfly 1,b,c butterfly 2,b,c-- on bottom 1-
- go to Alien Skin Xenofex -- constellation -- small stars --star size =  1.98 -- star variation = 50
edge star density = 50 -- overall star density = 25 -- Overdrive = 50
twinkle amount =  75 -- twinkle rotation = 45 -- random seed = 1, Now go to the top butterfly and add the same filter..   (EX 2)
Close out both #1 butterflies... open the #2 a -- butterfly and add the same filter but hit the Random Seed 1x, repeat with the 2b. and then do the same for both #3 layers,once done open both #1 layers  make sure the others are closed, open animation shop -- copy merged  and paste into AS -- as new raster layer-- go back to PSP -- close the 1st butterflies,and open #2's Copy Merged and then go back to AS and paste.after current frame,repeat for #3 when this is done, go to Edit--select all--animation properties -- crop opaque--white and the frame properties to 20..-- when happy save as Gif.
thank you for checking out my tutorial.
