BJ Love Actually

YOU WILL NEED:

* Paint Shop Pro and Animation Shop or similar. I used PSPXII but you should be able to make this tag in earlier versions.

* Tube of choice. I am using the gorgeous artwork of Barbara Jensen which you will need a licence to use. You can purchase her artwork HERE

* Scrap Kit by Sophisticated Scraps. Thank you Lisa for your gorgeous kit. This is a free kit which can be downloaded from Lisa's Blog HERE (Scroll Down)

* Font of choice - I used Quigley Wiggly HERE

* Mask of choice - I used EdgeMask07. Open and minimise for later.

LETS START!

1. Open your tube and scrap kit in PSP. Open your font (by double clicking on it in Windows Explorer) and minimise to use later.

2. Open a new image 500 x 400 with a white background.

3. Add a new raster layer. Floodfill with a colour that will compliment your tube. Now go to Layers - New Mask Layer - From Image - Select the Mask from the drop down menu.
Now merge the mask layer. Right mouse click on the mask layer. Select Merge - Merge Group.

4. Activate your frame and copy and paste as a new layer above your mask layer. Close your original frame image. Go to Effects - 3D Effects - Drop Shadow - Apply the following drop shadow to your frame. I used V=2, H=-2, O=70, Blur=2.00 Colour Black. and then V= -2, H=2, O=70, Blur=2.00 Colour Black.

5. Now Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer on your tag. Apply a drop shadow of V=2, H=-2, O=70, Blur=2.00 Colour Black.

6. Select your eraser tool and remove any of the tube that you do not want to show outside of the frame.

7. Add your elements to your tag as desired. I used the Beaded swirl as the background element.

8. Add your Š information to your tag and add your name to your tag.

9. Now go to Edit - copy merged. Now open Animation Shop and go to Edit - Paste - As New Animation.

10. In Animation shop, ensure that the Propagate Paste is selected in the tool bar.

11. Now go to Edit - Duplicate Selected until you have 15 frames.

12. Open your animations that you want to add to your tag.

13. Go to Edit - Select All - Edit - Copy

14. Now select your tag you want to apply the animations to. Go Edit - Select all - Edit - Paste - Into selected Frame. Paste your animation where you would like it on your tag.

15. Now save your tag and you are finished.
