OK... Let's do something a little different this time.


Select your PRESET tool



In your TOOL Options
Select 'Single line'
Antialias = Checked
Size = 3

Locate the SnowFlakes Shapes
and select 'Flake 8'





Open up a new image 400 x 400
Transparent background.

Go to LAYERS <<< New Raster Layer
Click OK


Leave the 'Goldfold in the foreground STYLES box
and set the Background to DARK BLUE



Starting in the top left corner of your canvas
drag your cursor to the bottom right of the canvas
and you should end up with this *S*




With your MAGIC WAND
Settings:
Match Mode = RGB Value
Tolerance - 0
Feather = 0
Sample Merged = UNchecked

Select the 'teardrop shaped' sections of your image.
You'll have to hold down your SHIFT key as you do this.




Go to SELECTIONS >>> Modify >>> Expand = 1


On your COLOUR PALETTE
Load the Red-Dark Green GRADIENT into your Background STYLES box
and change the Foreground STYLES box to NULL



Select your AIRBRUSH tool
Use these settings



Depress your Right Mouse Button
and colour in the selected sections




Go to EFFECTS >>>3D Effects >>> Inner Bevel
Use these settings



Click OK

DESELECT





With your SELECTION TOOL
Settings:
Selection Type = Rectangle
Feather = 0
Antialias = UNchecked

Draw a RECTANGLE around the outside of your shape
Click once INSIDE the Rectangle
(This will select all sections of your shape)

Be careful your shape doesn't MOVE...
If it does.. just place your cursor in the centre and reposition.


Go to EFFECTS >>> 3D Effects >>> Drop Shadow
and use the same settings you used previously.

Save your image as a .psp file


*******

On Layer 1 I used the same DARK BLUE that I used in the shape.
Then I went to
LAYERS >>> Merge >>> Merge All (Flatten)
and saved the image below as a .jpg file





On the next one.. we'll do something totally different *S*
