Supplies Needed

Paw Print here

Paw Chain here

Bow here

Plugins

Graphics Plus Cross Shadow

The tube I used is from Mega Pak 54 & is by Cuddly Rigor Mortis, you can purchase this tube from CDO here

(Thinking back on this tut I think I would leave the paw prints whole rather than cutting one out and using a single paw)

Open new transparent canvas 700x700, we will resize later

Floodfill with a color from your tube

Apply Graphics Plus Cross Shadow using default settings

Open the paw print

Select around 1 paw, copy & paste as a new layer

Floodfill with another color from your tube

Add an inner bevel & drop shadow

Position somewhere on your tag

Duplicate, rotate & reposition

Repeat this a few times

Paste Paw Chain as a new layer

Add drop shadow

Position near left side

Duplicate 2 times

On one of the chain layers rotate right 15

Repeat on another one rotating to the left

Paste bow as a new layer

Add drop shadow

Position over the stars of the paw chains

Resize all layers to 70%

Add your text

Add your name & your © info

Animation:

For the first frame you will need to hide the center & left paw chains & all but the top paw layer

Merge visible & copy into animation shop

For the 2nd frame you'll want a center paw chain & so on

I set the frame properties on 75

Check your animation

Save as gif & you're all done!

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial

I would love to post your © compliant result, just email it to me with the tut name in the subject line
