♥ Let's Begin! ♥

Open the mask, invert the colours and upsize to 800 widths.

Create a canvas 1000 x 1000. Open paper 25, resize to 800 widths, apply mask, upsize to 900 widths and then add to the canvas.

Open frame 1, resize by 65% and add to the canvas; center. Open frame 4, resize by 60% and add above last frame; center. Pull the sides slightly to form a more perfect rectangle and re-center.

Add paper 14 to the center of frame 4 after a resize to 800 widths.

Open the tube, resize height to 660 and add above the frame 4 layer; manually center.

Open element 34, resize by 85% and add at the bottom of frame 1. Open element 4, resize by 40% and add to the bottom of the tube layer.

Open element 68 and add above the frame 4 layer in the lower corners. Open element 60, resize by and then position over the last branch areas. Use element 60 again, after a 60% resize, for the bottom area.

Open element 59, resize by 60% and add under the element 4 layer. Open element 52, resize by 40% and then add under the element 4 layer; turn slightly to hide the open space in the flower.

Open element 49, resize by 30% and add under element 78 layer; position one on either side. Open element 36, resize by 50% and add in four places.

Add any special touches and drop shadows now. To animate the mask layer with Xenofex Constellation, follow the image below and hit random seed for the second and third layers.

Rearrange, crop or resize and then add your name and copyright. Open your Animation Shop 3, add each layer after the other IN ORDER, and then apply your optimization settings. Upload to a photo sharing site to enjoy.
