Supplies

Kit from Sabre's Quill and Parchment but;
2013
Since Sabre's site is closed and all kits lost I've turned the elements
into 2 clusters pluss the sword so just rightclick and save to do the tut.

backgroundpaper for the frame

Mask is nr 2 here

Stone and wordart here

Licensed artist work is by Jennifer Janesko

Plugin

Alien Skin Eye Candy 5 Impact

Font of choise, I've used Regency

Let's start

Open a new image, 600x600 flood fill white

Add the frame.

Add a new raster layer below the frame, flood fill with a dark color

from the frame, and add the mask to it. Merge group

Add the background paper behind the frame.

Add the other cluster in front of the frame.

Add the sword between the frame and the other cluster,
place it, duplicate the sword twice

Rotate free 5% to the left on one and change to right on the other one.

Place all the 3 swords with the tip on the same spot.

Then put the stone just infront of the tip.

Look at the bluryness on the swords, sharpen them to look the same ;)

Add your name and give it a gradient glow, i've used the settings below

I added the same glow twice ;)

For the wordart I resized it to 70%, duplicated it and merged down

then gave it a little glow too.

Add the proper ©

Then we're ready to animate

Close 2 of the sword layers, I kept the one to the left open first,

copy merged and paste as new animation

in ani shop, open the sword we didn't rotate (the one in the midle),

closing the first one, copy merged again

and paste after current in ani shop.

Do the same to pick up the third sword too.

Now we've got 3 frames left, midle and right sword, but we want the midle one at

the end too so we make it sway properly, just copy it and paste after the last one.

Select all and change frame properties to 25 before animating and

saving it.

And you're done!

Hope you've enjoyed it.
