2. Grab your flood fill tool and flood fill it with white.
3. Now click on the tube titled "MA~Whitefur~06" and duplicate it, and close out
the original.
4. Resize it to 200 X 150 pixels, and copy it. Now paste it onto your canvas as
a new layer, place it in the upper left hand corner. And Lower the Opacity to
40.
5. Now Highlight the tube titled "Joosje_White_Snow_Princess_004_122005" and
duplicate it, and close out the original. Now go to image ~ mirror. Now resize
it to 350 X 283 pixels. And then paste it onto your canvas as a new layer and
move it over to the bottom right hand side.
6. Now we are going to make our frame. Click on the bottom layer on your layer
pallet, then go to selections ~ Select All, Selections ~ Modify ~ contract ~ 8.
Now go back to selections ~ Invert, now add a new raster layer, and flood fill
it with grey, I used #808080. Now move this layer to the top of your layer
pallet, and select none. Now go to effects, and apply an inner bevel. Play
Around with the settings until you get the look that you want.
7. Now copy the strand of heart diamonds and paste them onto your canvas as a
new layer. And move them below the frame layer.
8. Now at this time I added my watermark on a separate layer, I always add it
onto it's own layer.
9. Now add your text, also make sure it is on it's own layer, "Diamonds Are A
Girls Best Friend" and lower the opacity to 73.
10. Now we are going to add our name, we want to add it to the layer with the
heart diamonds, this will aid in making it sparkle later on. If you create your
text as a vector, all you'll need to do is make sure it is above the diamonds
and then merge down.
Ok Now is where the hard work is going to start!
11. Grab your freehand tool, Make sure the selection type is set to "Point to
Point" and the mode is set to "Add(Shift)" feather: 0 Smoothing: 0 Anti-alias
ticked. Now, highlight the 3rd layer on your layer pallet, it is the one with
the girl and the diamond ring.
12. Now trace around the diamond on the ring, You may need to Magnify your
canvas to see it really well. Once you get to your starting point, right click,
and then you'll see the marching ants running around the diamond, do the same
for her fingernails.
13. Now that you have the ants running around her fingernails, and the diamond
in the ring, go to adjust ~ add/remove noise ~ add noise ~ and use thee
settings.. Uniform ticked, Monochrome ticked, Noise: 25%
14. Now don't deselect just quite yet! we are going to add some sparkles now. Go
to Effects ~ plugins~ VM Natural ~ sparkle ... Now set the size to 16 and the
random seed to about 33. and click OK ( don't worry that you see sparkles over
the whole tube, it wont be like that on your canvas)
15. Select none.
16. Now on your layer pallet, highlight the layer with your diamond hearts and
your name, Now go back to adjust ~ Add/Remove noise ~ add noise, you don't need
to touch anything there use the same settings as we did before. and do the same
as we did before with the VM Natural.
17. Now right click and Copy merged and paste it over to Animation Shop as a new
animation.
18. Now Back to PSP, click your undo button about 5 times, you will see the
marching ants return, if one of the nails with the marching ants is not there
you went too far, Don't worry, just click your forward button and it'll come
back. Now repeat step 13, but change the noise Percentage to 30%, Now repeat
step 14, but just move the random seed setting higher, 10 or more. and then
select none.
19. Repeat step 16 and 17, but this time paste it "after current frame".
20. Now back to PSP and click your undo button like we did before, and go to
add/remove noise ~ add noise, and set the noise to 35% this time. And then like
we did before add the sparkles. Then select none.
21. And once again repeat step 16, like we just did a little bit ago, and add
the noise and sparkles like before. and copy and paste it over to AS "after
Current frame".
22. Now animate it, and save it! Congrats! You're done! have any questions
