New Tutorial and Tag

New Tutorial

 

Hi all and thanks for visiting...

I want to thank all those who tried my latest tutorial and for all the lovely comments...

Well I got to creating again today and basically created a very simple background with frame...

No special skills needed here just some creativity and imagination..

I did use one plugin called brush strokes which you can get here

and you will need two tubes one main one and one secondary for the background...

and a gold pattern

I'll leave it for you to choose what you would like to use today

 

For the tag I have used the beautiful art work of ©Hellonleg

Open a new 500x500 transparent image

Choose a light and dark colour from the main tube

Flood fill your new image with the Light colour you have chosen

Open your secondary image and duplicate it and close the original

I used a daisy image

On this image using your plug-in brush strokes and crosshatch use the following settings

Stroke length 18, sharpness 9, strength 1

Copy and paste as new layer to your filled image and move to the right

Duplicate your layer and mirror then merge new layer down

Effects>Image effects>seamless tile use default setting

Change blend mode to soft light

Duplicate layer and image>flip and merge layer down

Use your plug-in again with the same settings and change opacity to 50%

Now with rectangle selection tool select a small section of your background and copy and paste as new image

With this new image create a seamless tile with the default settings and then just minimize for now

Open main image and copy and paste as new layer to your background image and resize as necessary

Add a drop shadow

Add a bevel with the following settings

Add borders again 2 and fill with gold pattern
