Little Star

Supplies needed

Tube of choice
Font of choice ( I used Altamonte )
My supplies here
Eye Candy 4000 - Gradient Glow ( optional )

I used the wonderful art of Suzanne Woolcott. You must purchase a licence to use her art, which can be done here

Lets begin!

1. Open a new canvas 600x600 and fill white.

2. Copy and paste the star as a new layer, selections, select all, selections float, selections, defloat, selections contract by 10 pixels, set your fill tool to the pattern supplied, or one of choice, add a new raster layer and fill with the pattern, keep selected, add a new raster layer and fill with the same colour as the bottom star, selections, select none.

3. On your large star layer, effects, texture effects, texture, apply a texture of choice, and repeat thesame for the small star. Add a drop shadow of choice to all 3 star layers, I also added a white gradient glow - width 3 but this is optional.

4. Rotate your middle star 30 degrees to the left and copy and paste your cloudas a new layer, move this under your large star layer.

5. Add a new raster layer below your cloud layer and fill with a lgiht colour from your tube, apply a mask to this layer and reduce the opacity to around 40%. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer and add a drop shadow of choice.

6. Add your copyright infomation, watermark and your name, It's time to animate.

7. Copy merged and paste into animation shop as a new animation, back in psp, rotate your middle star 30 degrees left, copy merged and paste after current frame in animation shop. repeat this step until you have 5 frames, edit select all, frame properties, I changed mine to 30

Save as a gif and your all done.
