no problem!

New textures from scans I made to use now in the fall, especially. I'll be posting some more soon. They are really very pretty.

How to make this....it's very simple.


First two textures are from the set that I posted the link up above found in my LJ. The scans are titled Fall in love. Enjoy!

Spoiler:

1. Open a new white document. I made mine 1200 x 900.
2. Take this texture,
set it on normal in your document. Make sure it fill the document completely.
3. Take this texture
and set it to normal on top of your first layer and aligned to the center.
4. Take your cap, I used Gwen,
set it on the top of your second layer to darken. Erase around the edges.
5. Take your next cap, I used Arthur,
set to normal. Here's the tricky part, erase parts around Arthur and go back to your other layers to erase anything that is covering Arthur.
6. Duplicate Arthur and set to multiply.
7. Take this texture,
set to darken.
8. Take this texture,
set to darken at 37% opacity. With a soft brush, delete edges to your liking.
9. Add text.
10. Merge visible and add a smart blur or surface blur.

Tutorial for that icon:

Spoiler:

Take your pic and do the coloring first.

PSD for my color here.

From to .

Now take your Rectangular Marquee Tool and choose a part of the pic.
Push the shift button while using it, so you get an even square.
Try to leave as many space at one side as possible.

Like



Copy (ctrl+c) it into a new document and resize it to 100x100.



Go back to your main image and do the same again...just choose another part of the pic.



Copy and paste it into the document you made before for the other part of the pic.
Resize it and place it where you'd like to have it.



Take that texture and put it between the two picture layers. Set to screen.



Put that texture on top set to lighten about 60%.

And you're done.




You can also make one of both parts b/w.
Like that.
