Pear Blossoms


Note: I couldn't decide which tube I liked better
so there is a 2nd example below the tutorial as well.

Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
I am using a tube by Renee Biertempfel.
You can purchase this tube at
CDO.

I am also using the PTU Scrap Ice Cream Pear
by ChiChi Designz which can also be purchased at
CDO

Open a 700x700 new image.
Open up your tube and
scrap supplies.

Choose a paper of choice.
Paste as a new layer onto your image.
Apply the mask MC_Mask14.
Merge group.
Duplicate the mask layer once
& mirror. This gives a more
solid background for your tag.

Open a grass element
from the scrap supplies.
Copy and paste as a new layer.
Move down towards the bottom
of the new image.

Open a vertical grass element.
This is one where the grass/plants
are going up above the previous grass.
Paste as a new layer. On your
layer palette, move this layer below
the first grass layer.

Open up your main tube.
Paste as a new layer. You want
the tube layer above both
grass layers.

Open an element of pears or
fruit of some kind.
Resize 25% or as needed.
Paste as a new layer.
Move this layer in your layer palette
to below the 1st grass layer.
You want the fruit to appear to be
laying between the two grass layers.
Position on the right bottom side
of your tag.

Open a stuffed animal element.
Resize 25%.
Paste on the left side of the tag.
Position down on the grasses.

Open a scattering of glowing
orbs. Resize 88%.
Paste as the top layer of the tag.

Open a bottom element.
Resize 25%.
Nestle between the two grass layers
over by the stuff animal element.

If you are going to animate, please
fill the bottom layer of the tag
with a white background.
Merge layers visible. Crop to
desired size. Add artist copyright
information and name.

Now if you don't wish to animate, you
can save your tag now.
To animate, please continue.

Copy your tag as copy merged. Now go to Animation

shop
and paste as a new animation.
Duplicate for the required number of frames
as your animation has.

For the animation I am using, it has 21
frames. This means I have to duplicate
the tag image for a total of 21 frames.
To duplicate, hold down Ctrl and repeatedly
press the L button.
Down on the bottom right corner of AS,
it will show how many frames you have.

Once you have all the frames needed,
edit - select all.
Now on your animation, select all - copy.
Drag onto your tag image.
Select all - view animation.
If happy, save as gif.
Thanks for trying my tutorial.
