This tutorial was created by Debi L. on Dec. 10th, 2007. Supplies needed: Tube of choice or if you have a license for it, the one I used ©Al Rio Supplies Included: Rooftop Candycanestrippaper Xmaspresent Moon Santaandreindeer Twinkle gif
This one is easy peasy so let's begin!
First off, open the Twinkle gif in animation shop then minimize for later.
Open a new blank canvas 600x600 floodfill white. C/P the candycanepaper as a new layer. Resize if nessessary. C/P the rooftop as a new layer. Add a dropshadow.
C/P the Moon as a new layer and place it kinda towards the top of the blue area.
C/P the Santa and reindeer layer. Use your deform tool to rotate it slightly to the left so Santa is making a landing lol. Add dropshadow. At this point, you can add some star brushes of choice around the sky area.
C/P the present in the lower right side. I did it twice. Add dropshadow.
Add your Copyright, then your name.
Merge Visible, copy and let's go to animation shop! In Animation shop, duplicate your image 3 times. Select all, make sure the bar at the bottom is alllllll the way to the left under the first frame.
Do the same for the twinkle gif.
Now drag the first frame of the twinkle gif over to your image and place it where you want some sparkle! You can use mine for reference if you like how I placed mine. Go back to the twinkle gif and undo drag, then drag to your image again to place in a different area. I did it 3 times but you can twinkle all ya want lol. Play the animation. If you like it, save it as a gif and you're done!
See, I TOLD ya this was easy! Thanks for trying it :) Debi L.
