PTU Scrap Kit called Rock Devil by Yarrow at Digital Chaos Well worth the money with loads of gorgeous elements.

Mask by Becky

Wordart by me

Plugins Needed

Mura Meisters - Copies

Eye Candy 4000 - Gradient Glow but Eye Candy 3 is free and work do the job

Richard Rosenman - Grid Generator

-------

Let's Begin!

Open up a white 500px by 500px canvas

Find paper03 and copy and paste as a new layer.

Layers - Load/Save Masks - Loas Mask from Disc and find Beckymask_022.

Find the Record element and resize by 40%.

Copy & paste as a new layer.

Effects - Plugins - MuRa's Miester - copies

Duplicate layer

On the original record layer

Adjust - Blur - Gaussian Blur - Radias 12

Effects - Plugins - Richard Rosenman - Grid Generator

Find your music notes, copy and paste then drag the layer under the records layer, add a little glow using Eye Candy 4 - gradient Glow

Copy and paste your tube and then your wordart.

Add your name I used 2 peas mister giggles font. I used #991120 then added the same little white glow as before.

Add your copyrights.

This is what you should have so far.

Save this image as a psp file just in case your animation doesn't got to plan and you want to try again.

Animation

Hide your copyrights, name, wordart and tube layers. *note you will see my copyrights but thats just so each screen shot is credited*

Layers - merge visable

Unhide your tube layer and duplicate - rename tube 2

Grab your warp brush and set it with these settings.

If you use a different tube you may need to use a larger or smaller size brush. These following steps won't be the same but just so you get the idea.

I positioned the brush over her boobs and pushed up slightly

Then over her right hip and pushed over a little

Next over her left hip and pulled that a little

Next pull her top hand over and now a fraction

Click the tick on the tool options for the warp to take.

Duplicate your tube 2 layer and rename it tube 3

Again with your warp brush do all the slight adjustments as before so everything moves slightly further.

Duplicate your tube 2 layer and then in the layer palette drag it above your tube 3 layer renaming it tube 4.

Ok are you still with me?

This is what we should have so far

Moving it all over to Animation Shop!

Hide all your hidden layers and then hide tube layers 2,3 and 4

Edit - Copy - copy merged (crtl - shift - c)

Paste in Animation Shop

Back to psp and hide tube 1 and unhide tube 2

Edit - Copy - copy merged (crtl - shift - c)

In A/s - paste after current frame

Back to psp hide tube 2 and unhide tube 3

Again

Edit - Copy - copy merged (crtl - shift - c)

In A/s - paste after current frame

Finally do the same with tube 4.
