Sparkly Siggie Tutorial :)

This is my tutorial on how to make a sparkly siggie, I got the brushes from a website but some other fancy brushes would probaly work as well.
**********

This is a tutorial made on Photoshop CS2, But im guessing that it would work on most editing programme's.

1. Open a new image in Photoshop, 375px by 125 px.


2. Make the background one colour, I chose Pink .


3. Bring up the picture you want on it.


4. Place it near the left, leaving about 2/3 at the right of it.


5. Use a fancy brush to colour a bit of the background, but making sure you can still see some of the Pink background.


6. Duplicate the picture layer 5 times, so there is 6 picture layers all together.


7. Change the first picture layer to Vivid Light.


8. Change the second picture layer to Screen.


9. Change the third picture layer to Overlay


10. Change the fourth picture layer to Colour Burn.


11. Change the fifth layer to Darken


12. On every picture layer, exept the top one, smuge it out just a bit further than the normal picture.


13. Put the name of the Toon/Picture on the space on the right of the picture.


14. Right click on the text layer and click blending options.


15. Check the 'Bevel and Emboss' box and 'Stroke' box down the right side.


16. Change the thickness of the Stroke to 1px and the colour to black.


17. Click Ok and Ok then....

Tah Dah, there it is!
