Louisa's This & That

Wheewwwwwww, just did this one up for you but with only one slight problem, I have no ideas of how to put all the supplies in a zip for you.



Open a new image transparent background 700 x 700, we can resize later.

Open your fireplace tube and copy and paste as a new layer.

With your freehand selection draw out what you would consider a piece of carpet in front of the fireplace and flood fill with a color of your choice.

Add eye candy fur setting of your choice until you are happy with it. I used EC 3.1, fur, with the following settings 25, 20, 25, 70.

Place the carpet just behind your fireplace.

Copy and paste a tree tube of your choice on either side of your fireplace.

Copy and paste a piece of garland across the top of your fireplace mantel.

Copy and paste some presents of your choice and place under your tree.

Copy and paste stocking of your choice, duplicate and move to the other side of the mantel.

Place tubes of your choice, resize and place on the carpet as well.

Add any other elements as you wish as this tutorial is just a guideline and the possibilities are endless.

Back on your fireplace tube, with your freehand selection draw around your fire.

Duplicate 2 times and on each layer apply eyecandy fire using random for each one. Use the setting that you are happy with for this effect.

Add your wording of choice, and don’t forget your copyright.

To animate, X out your fire 2 and fire 3, copy merge and add as a new animation in AS.

Do this to your other fire layers closing out and opening each one as you go, and paste after current frame in AS.

View your animation and save as a gif.





The baby sleeping tube in this tutorial is from butterflywebgraphics.com and the rest of the supplies are from various collections I have collected over the years and for the life of me, do not know where they came from, if they are yours please let me know and I will either replace them or give credit where credit is due.
