STEP 1: Elements

Open a new transparent image 650x560 in PSP.
Fill with #000000.

CandysTreats-SOG-frame9 - as a new layer.
CandysTreats-SOG-Cluster2

The following elements are placed below the frame9 layer.

Click on the black background. Selections > Select All. Add a layer.
CandysTreats-SOG-ele2 - Edit > Copy. Back to your work and Edit > Paste Into selection.
CandysTreats-SOG-cloud - Add at the bottom, and to the right.
CandysTreats-SOG-Leaves1 - 50%. On the left. Duplicate > Mirror and place towards the top, on the right.
CandysTreats-SOG-Leaves3 - 30%. Top, right.
CandysTreats-SOG-Leaves2 - 50%. On the right.
CandysTreats-SOG-Leaves4 - 75%. Bottom.
CandysTreats-SOG-ele16 - 75%. Top, right.

The following elements are placed above the frame9 layer.

CandysTreats-SOG-bow3 - 35%. Top, right.
CandysTreats-SOG-ele19. Top, left.
CandysTreats-SOG-ele8. Bottom, left.
CandysTreats-SOG-ele19. Top, left.
CandysTreats-SOG-ele10. Bottom, left.
CandysTreats-SOG-ribbon7. Bottom, left.

STEP 2: Tube

Activate the Cluster2 layer. With your Magic Wand, click inside the frame. Select > Modify > Expand by 8 pixels. And add the image which comes with your tube if there is one. Select > Invert > Delete.
If needed, greyscale your tube. I had to greyscale mine.

If your tube comes without the image, then you must first fill with a paper of your choice and then the tube.

STEP 3: Text and Credits

Text: of your choice or mine. I used Brush Script MT in grey and then apply an Inner Bevel.


Then apply a Gradient Glow effect. Eye Candy 4000 > Gradient Glow

 


Credits: with the Pixelette font or any other pixel font.

STEP 4: Animation

File > Save your result in layers as a psp file.

Then merge visible all layers and copy paste this merged image into Animation Shop.

Open MemissaV's Heart animation. There are 3 frames. Edit > Select all. Resize to 75% then rotate 15° left. Edit > Copy.

Back to your merged result. Click on duplicate until you have 3 copies. Then Edit > Select all. Edit > Paste into Selected Frame and pllace the animation around the heart, on the top left.

Click on View Animation and if you like what you see then click on File and use the Optimization Wizard.
