My Locket.
This tutorial uses blade pro and
Animation Shop
But it's Easy!!
For those that just want to jump
in and make the locket.
I have zipped all the components here.
And a ring to make your own chain.
The locket has the marquee active.
If you use these...Jump to here.
Open a New Image 300x300
Click on the selection tool.
Select Ellipse, Feather 0
Make an oval,
bucket fill the oval with any color.
Use blade pro to make the oval
gold.
I used Shiny Gold with this setting.
The radius sets the outside bevel.
Take note of the size.
Click ok.
Go to Selections: Modify: Contract:
I contracted 12. The bevel + 3.
Invert the selection so the marquee is as shown.
by clicking on the invert icon, shown below, or
Selections: Invert.
Copy and paste the picture onto the locket as a new layer.
Resize the picture as necessary.
You want the face part inside the oval.
CTRL X to cut away the access.
Selections, select none.
duplicate layer one
(the base locket)
click/hold drag the copy of layer1
to the top.
So it looks like this.
(You won't have the marquee, we got rid of that above)
Add a layer.
Add some text.
This font is called
Parchment.
I have attached it here.
Add a layer.
Add a drop shadow,
NO BLUR
As you see, I changed the words.
but the effect is the same.
X out layer one and two.
the base and the picture.
Merge all other layers into one.
Add a layer.
Add the chain and
position in place.
X out the top locket.
Merge all other layers.
Now you should have 2 layers.
with the top locket X-out.
Save as a gif.
Un-X the top locket and save as a gif.
