This tutorial was written in PSP X2 but can be done in any version.
Supplies Needed
Image of your choice - I’m using the gorgeous artwork of Suzanne Woolcott
You need a license to use Suzannes work which is available from AMI
I used some PTU scrap supplies for mine and cant remember were I purchased
them but I have made similar items myself and included them in the supplies
or you can use your own.
Plugin: DSB Flux (optional)
If you are the creator of the mask used in my tutorial please contact me to either give
credit or remove it.
Included in supplies - Background paper, frame, doodle, button knot and mask.

To Animate
If you are using the same image as me or are using a different image and wish to
animate parts of it then follow the instructions below.
Take your freehand selection tool set at point to point - mode (add shift) and feather 0.
Carefully go round the parts of your image you wish to animate.
Duplicate your image twice for a total of 3 image layers.
Click onto the first and apply DSB Flux with the intensity set at 32.
Go to your second image layer and again apply DSB Flux but hit the mix button twice.
Do the same again for your third image layer and hit the mix button 3 times.
Now cross out your two top image layers and click onto the first.

Cross out the first layer and uncross the second.
