We'll be playing with Noise and Blending Options.

Skip the parts marked **BLUE**.

Let's have some fun!

Your background can be transparent if you are not animating.

Open Paper5.

Open Boarder3.

Resize to 45%.

Center and place this at the top of your siggy.

Duplicate this layer.

Place the dup at the bottom of your taggie.

You have just built your frame.

Open your tube.

Place her where you want her.

(We'll use the close up in a bit.)

**With this layer highlighted,

Grab the magic wand to the left of the screen.

Holding the Shift button down on your keyboard,

Randomly click on the gray areas of the boa.

(If you accidentally click on the black,

just go to Edit in your toolbar and click Step Backward.

Then press the Shift key again, hold down,

and continue clicking the gray areas with your magic wand.)

When you're happy with this

Go to Edit and click Copy.

Go to Edit again and click Paste.

Now for the elements!

Behind your tube and Boarder3, I placed these elements:

Drape3, centered resize to 50%.

Cage, over to the lower left a bit.

Position her inside KissLips2.

Highlight the KissLips2 layer.

Grab your magic wand over there to the left.

Hold the Shift key down on your keyboard.

Start clicking the inside of the lips.

Do not click the open part in the center.

Do this until all of the KissLips2 has marching ants around it.

In the drop down menu,

Click Inverse.
