This tutorial assumes you have a good working knowledge of psp and Animation Shop.
Supplies Needed:
Paint Shop Pro (I used 9 but can be done in any version)
Tube of Choice (I used the Gorgeous artwork of ©Demonique)
Font of Choise (I used SnowCaps)
My Supplies: Here
(Includes Supplies from Melissa at Scrappy Expressions
Includes Tubes from ©Rainbow Coffi Psp-Playground
also includes Word Art from Lori, Snow Animation and Mask from Zuzanna)

(You can drag this arrow as you go so you know where you are in the tutorial)
DOM Drag & Drop script from Dynamic Drive


Unzip the Supplies and open them all in Paint Shop Pro.
Put the Mask in your Mask Folder.
Open up a Blank Canvas, 500 x 500 and Flood fill with white. Copy and paste on the Paper.
Open up the mask, Layers --> New Mask Layer --> From Image. Find the zuzzanna Mask and apply. Merge Group on the mask layer over on your layer palette.




Now Copy and paste on the Photo Mount, rotate, resize and position in the centre of the mask. Add a drop Shadow.



Open up the Snow Back Rainbow Coffi Tube and copy and paste it onto the Photo Mount. Resize it if necessary, and use your selection tool to crop of the edges so it doesn't all over hang.



Now copy and paste on the White Forest Tube from Rainbow Coffi, again resize and using your selection tool, crop off the edges so it fits inside nicely. The same way as I explained previously.



Copy and paste on the stitching, the Wordart from Lori and the Snow flake. Resizing and adding drop shadows. Place like this:



Now add your Tube, the copyright for the tube you used and your name. You can then save it as it is, or carry on for the Animation!



For the Animation................x out the Tube layer, then Edit --> Copy Merged.

Open up Animation Shop and right click on the blank screen, Paste as new Animation.

Browse for the Snow Tube that I included in the zip and open in AS. You will note it has ten frames so go back to your tag and duplicate it so you have the same amount of frames.

Go back to the snow animation, Edit --> Select All, Edit --> Copy. Back to your Tag, Edit --> select all, Edit --> Paste into Selected Frame.
Place the animation directly over the entire tag.
Go back to psp and un X the tube layer, Copy layer, and then go back to AS. Again, paste as new animation and duplicate it so you have ten layers to match your Tag.
As before with the snow animation, paste it onto your Tag, placing it where you want.

Finally Save as a Gif!

There you go, You've finished!! Hope you enjoyed this tutorial :o)
