Alright folks, first tutorial here. Were going to create a simple Valentines Day e-card for your special someone - as a plan B, just in case you forget that present. In the process, you will learn how to create a brush of your own and edit some of its more advanced settings. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)

Besides your own heart� brush, were going to use some starry brushes (Download attachment) and a stock image for the background. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
lets begin. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
Step 1 (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)


Create a new document. It can be any size really, depending on the size you want the e-card to be. I made it 800x600. Create a new layer and name it Background�. Select #ff0000 as your foreground color and press Alt+Backspace to fill it up. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)

http://www.tutorialsphere.com/homemade/uploads/2008/01/valentinesday-s1.jpg (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
Step 2 (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)


Create a new layer and fill it with the color #330000. Name this layer Radial Gradient�. Add a Layer Mask to it, then select the mask itself in the Layers ******** Select the Gradient Tool and select Radial gradient. Press the D key to make sure you have Black and White as your foreground and background colors and draw a straight gradient line at 90° holding Shift, starting from the middle of the document all the way to the edge. If you have to, draw it even beyond the edge for a lighter effect. Play with this until you get it right.. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)

Step 3 (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)


(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
Were going to create a vignette effect and texturize our background. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
Create new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N) and fill it up with Black #000000. Name this layer Vignette�. Grab the (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)http://www.tutorialsphere.com/homemade/uploads/2008/01/tool-marquee-rect.gif Rectangular Marquee tool and draw a rectangle in the very center of your black layer. Make sure your rectangle is at about the same distance from all the document edges, say 80px. Press Delete to remove the selection leaving only a black 80px border on your layer. Now go to the Filter menu º Blur º Gaussian Blur and apply a blur of 45 pixels. Turn the layer opacity down to about 50% by pressing 5 on the keyboard (this is an easy way to play with the layer opacity). (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
Time to texturize! (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)


Grab a picture of a piece of cloth (or anything else that you think would work) and paste it just above your bottom layer. Name this layer Texture�. Hold down Ctrl and click the mask of the Radial gradient� layer above it. You should now have what looks like a circular marquee. Press M to select the Marquee tool, right-click inside the document and in the menu that appears click Select Inverse. Yup, this does exactly what you think (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)http://www.tutorialsphere.com/homemade/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif That is, it inverts the selection. Now, click the Add layer mask button in the Layers ******** Select this layers Blending Mode to be Linear Burn. You should now have something that looks like the picture below.

Step 4 (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)


Time to create our brush! Select the (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)http://www.tutorialsphere.com/homemade/uploads/2008/01/tool-custom-shape.gif Custom Shape tool and select the Heart Card shape. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
http://www.tutorialsphere.com/homemade/uploads/2008/01/valentinesday-s4.jpg (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
Draw the heart shape anywhere in the document, about 40px wide, black color and rename its layer to Heart�. Hide all your other layers before you continue! This makes sure your brush has a transparent background and doesnt contain anything but your shape. Rasterize the layer, then Ctrl+click it in the Layers window to select the shapes pixels, then go to the menu Edit º Define Brush Preset. Give your brush a name, lets say Heart�, and voilà ! You have created your own brush. Now select the (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)http://www.tutorialsphere.com/homemade/uploads/2008/01/tool-brush.gifBrush tool and open the Brush Preset picker, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the brush list and select the brush youve created. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)

(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)

(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)

Step 5 (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)


Now were going to set some advanced parameters for your brush and use it. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
First, make all your layers visible again, but delete or hide the Heart� layer since we dont need it anymore. Create a new layer just above your Texture layer and name it Hearts�. With Black selected as foreground color and the Brush tool selected, press F5 to bring forth the Brushes ******** Edit the settings according to the image below. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
http://www.tutorialsphere.com/homemade/uploads/2008/01/valentinesday-s5.jpg (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
Now use it to brush around the edges of the document and make a bit of a frame. After you are done brushing, with the Hearts layer selected Ctrl+click on your Radial Gradient layer and then click Add layer mask to give it that elliptic mask. The document should now look like this: (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)

http://www.tutorialsphere.com/homemade/uploads/2008/01/valentinesday-s5_1.jpg (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
Step 6 (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)


Lets add some more effects. Download this brush set and load it in Photoshop. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
http://www.tutorialsphere.com/homemade/uploads/2008/01/valentinesday-s6.jpg (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
Create a new document and name it Stars Fade�, select a brush from the set you just loaded (one of the star brushes) and press F5 to open up the Brushes ******** Edit the brush settings and the layer effects according to the image below. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
http://www.tutorialsphere.com/homemade/uploads/2008/01/valentinesday-s6_1.jpg (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
Now with the Stars Fade layer selected grab the Elliptical Marquee tool, set its feather to 25px and draw a circle in the middle of your document about 450px in diameter. Now click the Add layer mask button to convert the selection to a mask. Your stars layer should now fade towards the outside in a circle shape. Duplicate the layer, do a Ctrl + T (Transform), right-click and select Flip Horizontal. You should now have something that looks more or less like the image below. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)

http://www.tutorialsphere.com/homemade/uploads/2008/01/valentinesday-s6_2.jpg (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
Step 7 (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)


Almost there now. Select the Custom Shape tool, pick the Heart Card shape (the same we used to create the brush) and paint a nice one smack dab in the middle of the document - any color. Mine was around 330px high. Try to keep it proportioned when you draw it, holding down Shift should help. Name this new layer Big Heart�. Duplicate it, press U (to select the Custom Shape tool) and change its color to a nice white, then rasterize this layer. Ctrl+click it in the Layers window to select its pixels, press M and then press right arrow once and again down arrow once, then press Delete. What you just did was create a small white highlight� in the top left side of the heart. Now press 5 to reduce its opacity to 50%. Name this layer Big Heart Highlight�. Alright, time to slap some effects on the Big Heart� layer. Take a look at the image below. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
(http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)

http://www.tutorialsphere.com/homemade/uploads/2008/01/valentinesday-s7.jpg (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
Step 8 (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)


Press T to bring up the Type tool and type a message right on that heart. It can be anything, depending who your Valentine is, how many Valentines you intend to send this to, whatever. Choose a nice heavy font and apply these effects: (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)

Step 9 (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)


I can almost hear you slap your forehead right now, but theres nothing I can do. One last step and were done. Grab that starry brush you used on Step 6 (exact same settings) and make it a tad smaller by pressing the key [ (thats the open square bracket key). By the way, [ makes your brush size a step smaller, while ] makes it a step bigger, so this is a cool way to modify your brush size on the fly without having to type in an actual size in the Brush Preset picker. Select white as your foreground color, press Ctrl+Shift+N to make a new layer and paint all along the edge of the Big Heart to give it a sort of glitter (hence, were naming this layer Glitter�). Set its blending mode to Screen. Once youre happy with the way it looks, give it the effect below. (http://www.barakasoft.com/vb/index.php)
