fits around layer 7, I resized by 90 percent>with

mover tool place it over layer 7

of the frame.

I'm using one from the supplies>ast>resize it by

60 percent>take deform tool and turn it up and down

or how you want it to look. Place on the left hand

side over one of the bars.

I then duplicated this layer>mirrored and just

moved with mover tool how I wanted it.

Give them a drop shadow.

Copy and paste as a new layer>flower branch

resize by 20 percent and turn with deform tool.

You can colorize the flowers, that is what I did.

I took my easer tool and got rid of some of the stuff

on the flowers I didn't want there.

Drop shadow.

Add the bow resize by 30 percent.

Colorize the bow to go with your theme.

Give it the same drop shadow.

Open the fairy and resize her by

60 percent move her down and to the left

or how you would like her to look.

This is mine so far.

You can add any thing else you wish to at this time

Some wording. The one I used is in supplies.

When happy with every thing click on layer 1

and flood fill with a color you want your mask.

Layer>new mask layer>from image>

Merge group.

Resize the mask by 90 percent and move it over some.

If your going to add words do so now.

Highlight the top layer

and use the one of choice.

The one I did is in the supplies.

If your happy with every thing you can start at

the top and merge down some if you like, just be

sure that nothing is hooked to raster 7, and the frame,

also the graphic. This is how I stopped.

Add your water mark now before you do the

animation steps.

I added it down on raster 2

Close off your graphic layer>so the blue color is showing

select it with your magic wand.

Reopen the graphic layer and make sure

your on it should be raster layer 4 we will add the animation now.

To the graphic

Keep selected

Add 3 new raster layer 3, rename them rain 1, rain 2, and rain 3

Close off rain 2 and 3 make sure your on rain 1

Plug in VanDerLee>snowflakes

Adjust

Deselect

Edit copy merge

Open you animation shop

Paste as a new animation

Go back to your psp

edit undo, until your back to the ants and just the plain graphic

before

after

Now close off rain layer 1 and open

rain layer 2 and repeat the steps we just

did except change the speed by 20

Make sure you have highlighted rain 2

Deselect

Edit copy merge, in animation shop

edit>paste after current layer.

Go back to psp and undo what we just did like before.

Close off rain 2>add the snow change speed to 1050

and motion blur.

Deselect

Edit copy merge>back to animation

edit paste after current layer.

You should now have 3 layers in animation shop.

Go to frame 1

View animation and you can see the rain.

We are going to slow it down some.

Go to animation>frame properties, and that is where

you change the speed.

Frame 1 leave it........frame 2 change to 20

You can leave frame 3 also if you like.

Before I save mine I go to animation>animation

properties, and change my background to white, or

what ever color you want.

If your happy with every thing you can resize

your tag.

File>Save as>name it>and place

it where you want it to go.

Just keep hitting next and let it do its thing.

Your now all done.

Would love to see what you do with this.

Thank you for giving my tutorial a try.

grab them and push and pull things to shape them like you want them, just

mess around and see what you can do. Any thing you don't like you can edit undo.
