Supplies

 

Scrap kit of choice - I am using two parts of the "Litte Miss Princess" theme kits from Exquisite Scraps by designers Oopsie Daisy and Bits n' Bobs
The Princess Word Art is from Creative Intentionz part of the kit
Tube/Image/Photo of choice - I am using one of my own (and rather fitting for this kit I might add...lol)
Fonts of choice - I am using Hairspray
Plugin: Xero Fritillary
Paint Shop Pro and Animation Shop

 

Ready? Let's begin....

 

 

Open a new 600 x 600 blank canvas flood-filled white

 

Paste odn-lmp09-RibFrame
Resize by 25%

 

Paste your image or photo of choice as new layer

(so image is below Frame)
**Duplicate and hide (optional if you wish to have your image protruding from Frame)**

 

Select your Freehand Tool and carefully draw around the inside ribbon of Frame
Selections > Invert
Delete then deselect

 

Activate your duplicated image
Layers > Arrange > Bring to Top
Lower opacity so you can see Frame behind image

 

Use Freehand Tool to draw around the subject in your image, choosing the points to protrude Frame
Selections > Invert
Selections > Modify > Feather by 2

Carefully erase any remaining excess so you should have something like this:

Resize by about 45% (depending on size of crown)
Position on the head of subject in your image/photo

Now activate the Princess Crown layer
With your Magic Wand select the areas on the points of the crown
Selections > Promote Selection to Layer

Rename to Crown1, Crown2 and Crown3

 

Add some noise to each layer
Crown1 - 30
Crown2 - 35
Crown3 - 40

 

Add any other elements, drop shadows or Text you wish

 

Add your © copyright, licence and watermark

 

Now as there are so many animated layers let's set up the animation!!

 

First, hide the following layers:
StarAni2, StarAni3, Crown2 and Crown3

 

Edit > Copy Merged
Then Paste as NEW IMAGE

 

Now hide layers StarAni1 and Crown1
Unhide StarAni2 and Crown2
Edit > Copy Merged

 

Activate your NEW IMAGE
Edit > Paste as NEW LAYER

 

Finally, hide layers StarAni2 and Crown2
Unhide StarAni3 and Crown3
Edit > Copy Merged
Activate your NEW IMAGE again
Edit > Paste as NEW LAYER

 

You should now have a new image with THREE LAYERS

 

Select your Text Tool and font of choice
I am using Hairspray

 

Set your Foreground and Background to the same colour (one from your tag)
I chose #503776
Stroke width - 2.00

 

Type out your name
Apply a slight Gradient Glow in white

Open Animation Shop
