Broom Ride Tutorial

This tutorial was written on August 24th 2009 by Donna Mae AKA Sapphire Love. The concept of the tag is mine and mine alone. Any resemblance to any other tag/tut is pure coincidence. This was written for those with working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop.


Supplies:
Template by Designs by Ali
Spooky Hallow(Tagger) by Gemini Creationz

Open your new document, 510 x 532.

Open up your template.
Make sure all layers are invisible except for the large circle.

Open GCZ_SH_paper13, go to edit > define pattern > okay.

Go back to your template, right click the large circle layer, blending options > pattern overlay > the pattern you just defined > Okay.
Press shift + control + n and a new layer should pop up, press shift + control + e and those layers should merge.

Make sure all layers are invisible except for your several dots, right click the layer > blending options > color overlay > color #f47118, click okay. Press shift + control + n and a new layer should pop up, press shift + control + e and those layers should merge. Go up to filter > noise > set the noise amount to 10.

Open GCZ_SH_paper03, go to edit > define pattern > okay.
Make sure all layers are invisible except for your top left square, right click the layer > pattern overlay > the pattern you just defined > okay.
Press shift + control + n and a new layer should pop up, press shift + control + e and those layers should merge.
Now repeat with the other square.

Make sure all layers are insivible except for your square frames, right click layer > blending options > Bevel & Emboss, leave it as your normal settings, press okay. Press shift + control + n and a new layer should pop up, press shift + control + e and those layers should merge.

Right click your text layer, go up to your Eye Candy Impact: Gradient Glow, set your color to #f47118 and the "Glow Radius" to 0.07.

Go to your Witch layer, Eye Candy Impact: Gradient Glow, set your color to #fffbc0 and set your "Glow Radius" to 0.07.

Now paste your template into your new document, time to get busy putting your tag together now that we've covered the basics. :D

open GCS_SH_Cat, re-size by 40%, paste into your document behind your frame.

Open GCZ_SH_Jack, re-size by 30%, paste into yourdocument, there will be some sticking out, but just erase that.

Actually, You know what, just delete that floating which layer. We're gonna use one from the kit.

Open GCZ_SH_Broomwitch, re-size by 40, add your drop shadow, opacity 30% > distance 3 > size 3.

Right click the layer, hit "duplciate layer", another layer should pop up, press control + t, hit the up arrow ONCE.

Right click the new layer, duplicate layer, press control + t, hit the up arrow ONCE.

Now repeat ONCE more.

Time for the animation - Animate it like you normally would, one layer, for one frame, once you get to the last layer, hit duplicate frame, and go back down the layers til you get back to the very first one, set your time delay to 0.01, and your witch should be floating!

Add your name, tag it, and voila, you are done.
Hope you enjoyed my Tutorial!
