Supplies:

Tube of choice. I'm using the artwork of Charles R Bristow. Please do NOT use his work unless you have the proper license to do so. You can purchase his work and obtain a license from AIL

Mask - WSL233

Filters - VDL Adrenaline - Snowflakes

This tutorial was written with assumption that you have a basic working knowledge of PSP. I'm using PSP X2, but this can be done in any other version

Let's begin!!

Open a 500x500 transparent canvas, flood fill white

New raster layer, flood fill with a dark color from your tube, add remove noise random 40, apply your mask and merge group, add a drop shadow of choice

Copy and paste your tube, resize if needed and move to the right of your mask, add a drop shadow of choice

Add your artist info and license #

Add your name

Duplicate your mask layer 2 times so that you have 3 mask layers

on your first layer apply VDL Adrenaline - Snowflakes default settings, change color to icy blue

Repeat this step on the other 2 layers, but change your random seed number for each layer

Open up animation shop

Go to PSP and hide 2 of your mask layers

activate your tube layer and copy merged, go into animation shop and paste as a new animation

Back in PSP, hide your first mask layer and unhide your second, copy merged, and paste after current frame  back in animation shop

Again back in PSP hide you r second layer and unhide your 3rd mask layer, copy merged and again paste after current frame in animation shop

In animation shop click on your first frame, edit select all and change your frame properties to 55

Save your tag as a GIF

Done!!!
