Another tut! Requested by
kyliemuffin~ Made for Round 1 challenge 8 in
clamp_lims.

From
going to

Icon made in: Adobe Photoshop CS


>

1. Okay! Duplicate your base and set it to SOFT LIGHT 100%. Press Ctrl+A to select the new layer, then go to FILTER > BLUR > GAUSSIAN BLUR and set the radius to 1.0. Play with the radius until you get a result that you like.




2. Use the black (#000000) layer and set it onto the icon to SATURATION 100%


>

3. Slap that texture by
gender on and set it to PIN LIGHT 100%


>

4. Slap on the base onto the icon and set it to SOFT LIGHT 70%


>

5. Use this texture by
inxsomniax and set it to SOFT LIGHT 75%


>

6. Slap the base onto the icon once again and set it to SOFT LIGHT 50%


  > 

7. Use the texture by
gender (cropped by me) and use the Move Tool to drag it to the left side.

8. Yay~ colouring is done. Time to add some text :3

Type in: "fairytale" in 24pt in Times New Roman, CRISP. And place the text on the left side, just below her hand, like where I placed mine :3

Select the text, then go to LAYER > LAYER STYLE > DROP SHADOW. And play with the opacity until you see the results you want. I set it around 75%-85%.

Add tiny text and a border then you're done!

Final product:
