Twilight Wolf

~ Supplies ~

~Tube of choice - - For this tutorial I've used the artwork of the FAN-tastic Ismael Rac www.xeracx.com. You can purchase his tubes at AMI. Please do NOT use his tubes without a license.
~Scrap kit of choice - I've used an amazing kit by Sarah entitled 'Breaking Twilight' whose inspiration came from anticipation of the new movie "Twilight, New Moon", but can be used for many other beautiful reasons :). Thanks Tammy!! You can find this kit at Pimp my Tags with Scraps.
~Filters - VM Extravaganza Transmission
~Animation Shop
~Font of Choice - I've used Pharmacy
~My zip file HERE - includes wolf animation and template

~♥~Let's Begin~♥~

1. Open zip and put wolf animation where you can find it easily. Open your tube choice and my template in psp - duplicate both and close originals - minimize tube for now.

2. Highlight transmission layer in layer palette - Selections - select all - float - defloat -open pp1 - copy and paste as a new layer - invert - delete - select none - delete original transmission layer.

3. Feel free to use your own mix of papers, but to duplicate my tag - Use same paper and technique on right rectangle layer - on main rectangle use same technique with pp2 - on inner rectangle use pp12. Delete all original layers. On each layer I gave a 2, 2, 50, 5.00 drop shadow.

4. Open and place tube outside the frame but "on top" of the bottom of it, resizing accordingly. If you're using the same tube - open the heart charm - resize 15% - place on necklace that comes with tube.

5. Open ribbon_4 - paste at bottom of template - paste glitter2 on top of ribbon resizing it at 90%.

6. Now copy and paste elements as you'd like them. I cropped & rearranged word art6 to suit my tag and the animation included.

7. Move down to bottom layer (transmission layer) in layer palette. Effects - VM Extravaganza - Transmission using settings of 6, 8, 40. Adjust - add noise - uniform, monochrome, 100%.

8. Once you're happy with your tag - hide background layer - merge visible. Resize 89% - all layers UN-checked. Add your artists copyright and your name. Crop your tag now and open Animation Shop.

9. In AS, open wolf animation. Back in psp - Edit - copy merged - over to AS - Edit - paste as new animation. As the wolf animation has 9 frames, we need 9 frames of our tag - Edit - click duplicate selected until you have 9 frames - move the slider to the 1st frame.

10. Highlight the wolf animation - Edit - select all - copy - highlight your tag animation - Edit - select all - paste into selected frames - place wolf where you like or use my tag as a guideline (when you let go he'll be in all frames). Run animation to be sure you're happy with it and save as a gif. file.
