( Just scroll down )

Filter : VDL Adrenaline

Drop Shadow = DS = 2,2,50,5 black

Let's begin

900 X 900

1.) Tube - (resize = R -  if needed ) Copy and Paste = C&P as New Raster Layer = NRL - and place on the bottom of tag - (we're going to work around the tube ) DS

2.) EL 11 - C&P as NRL - Place on top right corner-- DS

3.) EL 12 - C&P as NRL - place on the bottom of your moon, making it look like it's hanging off...DS

4.) EL 14 - C&P as NRL - place on upper left and move layer to above bottom - DS

5.) EL10--R= 70% - Unsharp Mask = USM -C&P as NRL - place on bottom right corner - DS

6.) EL 21 - C&P as NRL - free rotate left 90% - Place on bottom of tag - DS & Tag reference = TR

7.) EL 23 - R = 70% - USM -C&P as NRL - place on top left - free rotate left 25% - DS - Duplicate - mirror- move this to other side of star- duplicate and flip - move layer below tube- duplicate #2 - mirror - make sure bottom 2 are under the tube, and above the star - TR - merge them all together -

8.) EL 24 - R= 70% & 80% - USM --C&P as NRL - Place on left side - move layer below frame (NO DS) - TR

9.) EL 25 - R = 60% & 80% - USM -C&P as NRL -  place it above the tree on right side - DS

10.) EL 29 - -C&P as NRL - Place on right side bottom- DS - Move layer below tube - TR

11.) EL 33 - -C&P as NRL -  Place on left side - DS - move layer below tube layer - TR

12.) EL 34 -  -C&P as NRL - place on right top - move layer below tree layer - DS & TR

13.) EL 36 - R = 60% - USM - -C&P as NRL -- place  on top left - move layer below star - (NO DS) Erase any over hanging (for animation)

14.) EL 4 --C&P as NRL -place behind sign - DS & TR

15.) EL 45 - R = 40% USM - -C&P as NRL - place on left side bottom - DS & TR

16.) EL 5 - -C&P as NRL - place in front of sign - DS & TR

17.) Close out all layers above sky- and close off bottom layer -  You should have - leaves, star, snowman and tree -  with freehand selection tool - Point to point -  add shift - feather 0 - smoothing 0 -  go around the star- Examples 1,2,3

18.) Go around star and on bottom layer add NRL-

with flood fill tool- add this color - 93aaca ( rename this background ) Duplicate 3 X's = 4 - select none- close out all layers from leaves to bottom

19.) With all layers above - open then Merge Visible --rename Top

20.) Add Copy right info (If you don't want to animate- merge visible all layers, R= 56% = 504 X 504-sharpen - add name and save as PNG )

Let's animate

21.) Close top and open Leaves, star, snowman and tree - Merge Visible and rename it Star- R = 56% - 504 X 504 - sharpen

A.) rename star background 1,2,3,4- with freehand selection tool - same setting as before - go around star again this time keep it selected.. make sure star background 2,3, & 4 are closed.. working on Star background (St.bkg) 1 - go to VDL Adrenaline - snowflakes - Ex.4 - Amt. 100 - size range - Beg.=7, end = 22 - hardness = 80 - Transparency = 20 - basic snow - random seed - 0

close St.bkg 1 open #2 - random seed = 20 , close #2 open #3 - random seed =40 - close #3 - open #4 - Random seed = 60 , Select none....

close #' s 2-

Open Animation Shop

on #1 - copy merged - in AS -paste as new animation

PSP - close #1, open #2 - in AS - paste after current frame - repeat for #3 and #4 - when done, go to 1st frame - edit- animation properties - opaque = white

and then frame properties - 35 -for all frames

save as GIF after you add your name.

Thank you for following me.. I really would like to see any creations.
