Brushabilities - Lesson 8

Today's lesson focused on making a tag. We used the custom shape tool to create a yield sign, and then used the rectangle marquee tool and put a rectangle at the bottom of that to add to the actual tag. Merging the layers down, the base was complete. We used the elliptical tool (under rectangular marquee) to create the ring hole at the top. Hitting the delete key removed the color. Next, we used a piece of blue digital paper, provided to us in the class. We clipped this down to the tag (Alt+Click). Next, we used two different distressed brushes on the edges of the tag to make the tag look inked on all sides. Finally, we added a flourish to the tag (soft light mode) to add a little pizazz. All of these layers were clipped down onto the tag to layer appropriately (with the flourish going under the inked edges).
