In this tutorial I used the kit “Secrets” from

Hania.

This kit includes the tube (with three options)
and animation used

on the tag and can be purchased at

Pics for Design.

You will need mask frame (6) from

and my png mask

0082.

For the animation you will need

Animation Shop.

Font of choice.

Check your layers now and
make any adjustments, I used my pick tool on the mask frame to drag it down
slightly longer.  Add your copyright and
text.

ANIMATION:

Starting at the top,
close off all your layers down to and including the gravestone and merge
visible, close off this merged layer, open the previously closed ones and again
merge visible.

Open Simone’s
animation in Animation Shop, you will see it has 14 frames. 

Copy your bottom
merged layer and paste it in Animation Shop, duplicate it so it has 14 frames
the same as the animation, copy all the animation frames and paste them on your
merged layer, copy the top merged layer of your tag and again paste in
Animation Shop, duplicate as before and paste on your animated tag.  Selection all the frames again, go to
Animation – Frame Properties and change the display time to 20.

Run your tag through
the Animation Wizard and save as a gif.
