·THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS·





Supplies Needed:

Filter needed: eye candy 4000 - gradient glow

PSP 8 (any version will work)

Scrap Pieces used from beautiful freebie kits by Doreen Stolz (included.)
You can find more of her wonderful work and other scrap collections here

You will also need one tube of choice. I'm using the amazing work of Rion Vernon. You must have a license to use his work
and can purchase one here: www.creativeimagelicensing.com

I've now included the animated autumn scene for those who've had a hard time doing this animation.
You must have a working knowledge of psp in order to use this animation as I have not
updated my tut with directions on how to use this animation.


Fonts Used: Frutiger SAIN Bd


My supplies - here


:::Lets get started!:::


Open a new 575x560 transparant canvas. Flood fill white


Copy and paste your Autumn Image on your canvas. Then open your frame tube and paste on top of your Autumn Image.
Add a drop shadow of choice.


Open your remaining embelishment tubes (bow, tag, flowers, pumpkins, Thanksgiving banner, scrolling leaves tube) and
arrange on your tag. See mine for reference. Add a drop shadow of choice.


Next choose a color from your image and write out your name fairly large and convert to raster layer. Then using
your eye candy add a thin gradient glow followed by a drop shadow of choice. Add your copyright info.


Merge all the layers above your Autumn image together. Then close out that layer and merge your Autumn image
and bottom white raster layer together.


Now it's time to animate!


Open your leaves-1.gif in animation shop.


Back in paint (with your top layer still X-ed out) use your rectangle selection tool to select each of the squares
on your Autumn image. Once you have all nine of your squares selected go to window/duplicate for a total of 20 times.


Go back into animation shop and copy the first frame of the falling leaves gif. Paste in your paint shop as a new image.
Select your flood fill tool and on your materials pallet click on Pattern. Scroll through till you find your leaves image.
Once you have that selected go back to your selections and fill each of the nine squares. Then deselect.
Unhide all your layers and copy merged over to animation shop.


In animation shop go back to your falling leaves gif. Select the second frame and copy and paste over in your paint program
as a new image. Again you need to select your flood fill tool with this new leaves image and fill each of the nine squares.
Deselect, unhide all of your layers, copy merged and paste after current frame in animation shop.


Repeat this step with each of the 20 falling leaves frames. Save your taggie and you're done!



Hope you enjoyed my tut! =)
