First I made this:

Then I made addd some words:

But I really wanted it animated and I finally figured it out!! Look!

Pretty neat, eh?

I wanted to do a neat border. And so I put these hearts in. I actually gradient painted them with two colours I created. I also contoured them and then finally I knocked the opacity down. The text is also gradient filled off of those two colours. And I was trying some different things for their background, but I decided that I liked this gradient that I knocked sideways. I just couldn’t find anything I really liked but this looks nice.

This time around the wiggly edge (what is that anyway) I did a double border. Black and a dark brownie redy type colour that woudl match. I thought it gave some depth… Oh and this time I also did masking again.

What took the longest was finally figuring out the animation part of Photoshop (AKA Imageworks). Try as I might I coudln’t get it to work. Of course I first tried something harder than what i needed to do. That sounds about right! Finally figured out how to make the animation so that’s good. But then it took me forever to figure out how to save. Of course! I’m sitting there going “It will NOT let me save as a gif… what the heck???” But finally I stumbled across it. Look further down the menu… “Save optimized as..” And that allows??? GIF! WOOHOOO

*Does the dance of joy* Every icon I make after this is gonna be animated…huh? ROFL
