_________

Open a New Image White Background 550 x 500

Using Paper 1 from the kit

Copy and Paste as a New Layer

Layers, Load/Save Mask

Apply your Mask and Merge Group

Copy "Clouds" from the kit

Paste as a New Layer above the Mask layer

(looking fab already!)

Copy "Rainbow" from the kit

Paste as a New Layer above the cloud layer

Position as mine

Now, we want some"Branches" from the kit

Choose which colour branches you'd

like to use,

use your Selection tool, cut them out and

then paste as a new layer on our working

canvas

Image, Duplicate

Mirror

Merge the two branch layers together

and then add a subtle drop shadow.

Make sure the branch layer is lined up

with the bottom of the rainbow 

From the bottom up you should have

White Background

Mask Layer

Clouds

Rainbow

Branch Layer

Now, we're going to prepare

the Rainbow for animation

Apply the Xenofex Constellation filter

Choose the Full of Stars Preset

but change it to Keep Original Image

and then use the following changes too

The rainbow should now be full of little white stars

Ok, duplicate this 3 times for a total of 4 rainbow layers

Now we need to delete parts of

the layers for the arching effect

Hide the rainbow layers you're not working on.

So, on the first rainbow layer

Use your Selection Lasso Tool

Point to Point

Select most of the rainbow

Delete

You'll have this...

Open the 2nd Rainbow layer

Keeping the 1st layer open, you'll be able to see

the line of the cut off

So on the 2nd rainbow layer,  use

Lasso as above and delete a little less

(see below - these are two rainbow

layers showing...I've shown this so you can see the line

of the first cut off point)

Repeat this for the remaining two rainbow layers

Open your tube, copy and paste

as a New layer

Resize

Add drop shadow of choice and

Position it to your liking

(try not to cover up too much of the background - it

so fabulous after all lol!)

Add your copyright and any other

info required

Add your name as liked

Now to animate...

Close off all the rainbow layers

Edit Copy Merged

Paste as a New Animation in Animation Shop

Back to PSP, open the shortest

rainbow layer

Edit Copy Merged

Paste after Current Frame in A/S

Back to PSP, hide that rainbow layer

and open the next one

Repeat as above for

all the rainbow layers

In Animation Shop

Edit, Select All

Animation - Animation Properties

Change to Opaque, White

Animation - Frame Properties

for Frames 1-4 set it to speed of 20

On Frame 5 - change to 100

View, Animation

happy with speed?

Fab!

Then Save as .GIF and

you're done xx
