Witchy

 

  This is an original tutorial written by me.  Any resemblance to another tutorial is completely coincidental.  This tutorial was written using PSP 9 but should work in all versions.

Sorry about the lack of screen shots.  That'll teach me to try to hurry.

Supplies
Tube of choice.  I'm using one by Molly Harrison, which you can purchase at CDO.  Please do not use this tube without a license.
Word Art of choice (optional).  You can get the one I'm using at Twyzted T's Playroom.
Animation of choice.  I'm using SimoneAni468 here.
Font of choice.  I'm using Castle Dracustein.
VM Distortion Radial Pox
VM Distortion Radiator
AAA Frames - Frame Works
Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow (Optional)\
Mura's Meister Copies

1.  Open a new image 600 x 250.
2.  Copy and paste your tube as a new layer.
3.  Apply Mura's Meister Copies Wallpaper rotate default settings.
4.  Adjust > Blur > Motion Blur  Strength 100%  Angle 47%
5.  Apply VM Distortion Radial Pox default settings.
6.  Apply VM Distortion Radiator default settings.
7.  Paste your tube as a new layer.
8.  Apply a drop shadow of choice.
9.  Crop your image to 600 x 250.
10.  Apply AAA Frames - Frame Works with the following settings to both layers.

11.  Add your word art.  I recolored mine and added a fat gradient glow.
12.  Add your coopyright and name.
13.  If you are not animating, save as a jpeg.

Animation
1.  Open your animation in animation shop.
2.  Close the top layers so that only your background layer is visible.
3.  Copy merged and paste as a new animation in Animation Shop.
4.  Duplicate your background to the number of frames in the animation.
5.  Make sure the propagate paste button is clicked and select all the frames in your background and your animation.
6.  Drag frame one of your animation onto your background wherever you like it.
7.  Back in PSP.  Close your background layer open all the other layers.
8.  Copy merged and paste as a new animation in Animation Shop.
9.  Make sure your propagate paste button is clicked and all the frames in your background/animation are still selected.
10.  Drag your top/tube onto the background, making sure that the frames line up.  Don't let go until they do.
11.  Save as a gif.

I hope you enjoy this tutorial, and I would love to see your results.  Below are some other examples from this tutorial using different animations and tubes.
