Witches Brew

This tut was written for those with a basic knowledge of psp.

I am using the awesome artwork of  Alehandra Vanhek.

The tube is called Trisha, and she has extra clothing you can buy.

You need a license to use this art work. Please do not use without a license.

If you want to Animate
Resize all layers first, add your copyright and name first, then copy
merged with the white background to animation and make as many layers as the candle flame has, which is 21 layers.
Then click on the first candle layer in animation, go to Edit, select all, copy.
Then on the first layer of your tag, go to Edit, select all, paste into selected frame.
Keep pasting in selected frame until all the candles are lit.
Test your animation and if happy save.

If you are not going to animate, then do the below.

Add any other elements you would like, make it your own.

Crop your tag to be sure no stray shadows are on the edges of your tag.

Once happy with it all, close off any backgrounds, merge visible.
Resize first, then add your copyrights and name.

That's it
