until all the element20 layers
are merged into one layer.

This gives it a softer look.
Move element03 layer under your tube layer.
Again, grab a soft edged eraser.

I used color: edd0d3
Now place a Stroke on this layer.

Now unhide your duplicated tube layer.
Move this layer up in your Layer Palette
so it's on top of your mask layer.
Resize to 30%.
Place to your liking.
These are the elements I used:

and click on the pink area repeatedly
until all the pink has the marching ants around it.
Let go of the Shift key.
Now go to Edit in your tool bar at the top of your screen.

Click Paste.
I named these pink area1 and 2.
Highlight element56 layer again.
Repeat the Magic Wand steps
inside the pink area.

Now the pink area is gone.
Continue with these elements:

Highlight element21 layer.
Looking at the dove layer, element76,
Grab an eraser
and erase where the dove's feet are.
Move the duplicated element21 layer
on top of the dove, element67.
It will look like the dove is holding the branch.
We'll make some layers sparkle now.

Highlight the first layer of element20.
Go to Filter in your tool bar.

Check the box called Uniform.
Set Amount to 12%.

Now place a Stroke:
Stroke, Center, 2, color cc6fa1
I also used:

MOST IMPORTANT!!
You must now do this:
Put the artist's name, website, and your license number
of the tube you used on the siggy!!
Add your name (ie: Designed by Your Name) behind this info.
Make sure this info is legible and clearly seen.
If you don't want to animate, Save as PNG.
YOU'RE DONE!!
(If you want to maintain your layers
Always Save as PSD first.
Then you can save it as a PNG.
**TO ANIMATE**

Hide the second layers of:
element20
element07
pink area
Open the Animation Window.
Set the time for .2
Show all the rest of the layers in the first frame.
Click the square button, next to the trash can,
in the animation window.
This will duplicate the first animation frame.
Highlight the second animation frame.
Go over to your Layer Palette.
Leave everything as is except:

pink area
Unhide the second layers.
Now go back to your animation window.
Click Play.
If you like what you see...

My tuts are all done in PS. They are designed to show you different techniques that you may not know. I hope you learn something that you can use in your creations in the future. Please, just have fun and put your own spin on these tuts. Be original and shine! Love Ya! ♥
