EA - Superstar - how to add sparkles -custom

this tag tutorial was written by me any resemblance to any other tut is purely coincidental
 Photobucket

For this tut I am using the fantastic artwork of Elizabeth Austin
you can purchase her tubes from UYA.
i used the tube entitled Deliah

frame was one of my own from my Autumn kit but any similar frame would work
I also used 2 masks by VixPSP HERE and HERE
Filters used were: Alien Skin xenofex Constellation
 and Eye candy5 - impact - perspective shadow
....................................................
open up a canvas 630 x 630 pixles

I used frame from my Autumn kit if using the same resize by 60% if not resize to suit
then rotate left by 5

click inside frame with the magic wand tool
open up dark brown paper I used one from my Autumn kit no7 and resize by 60% copy and paste as a new layer

go to selections invert and hit delete key on the keyboard

add tube as a new layer, arrange and hit the delete key again  to remove the excess
change the blend mode to screen. by going to Layers - Properties  - and in the dropdown choose screen
slide below the frame

add light brown paper no7 and apply bigmask2 - number17 by vix
by going to Layers - Load/save mask from disk and choose number17 mask...
click apply or ok. depending on your version of PSP

go to Layers -merge group
 slide mask layer beneath the frame

add brown paper no7 again then apply superstar mask by vix
by going to Layers - Load/save mask from disk and choose the superstar mask...
click apply or ok. depending on your version of PSP

go to Layers -merge group
 slide mask layer beneath the frame 

for Elizabeth's name I used the Monika font size 72
background dark brown no #29221d foreground light flesh colour no #e2cdc8

add main tube then add a drop shadow I used Eye candy5 - impact - perspective shadow
on these settings
 Photobucket


click ok..

with a small paintbrush using a dark colour,
on a ner layer just paint over the the area you want to add sparkles to...
so here is a preview..doesnt look pretty does it...
 Photobucket
but it will in a minute...

now apply the constellation effect TO THIS LAYER on these settings
go to Effects – Plugins  - Alienskin xenofex 2 – constellation, 
 Photobucket
make sure the make selection transparent is selected


and click ok

go to Image - copy merged- and paste into Animation shop as a new animation

back to PSP and click undo,

again go to Effects – Plugins  - Alienskin xenofex 2 – constellation, and click the random button,
go to Image - copy merged - and paste into Animation shop after current frame
