Christmas Card Write Up

For the creation of my christmas card. I looked up advanced bauble tutorials for Photoshop and copied the bauble creation step by step until I had to put the shine and reflections on. For this i created white masks and added them on top of the bauble and lowered the opacity. I then searched lens flare in google and got the shine for the top left corner and I used the soft eraser tool and went around it, then added it on. I then just created a simple top part of the bauble with the shape tool and copied the layer style from the bauble and pasted it to the top.

For the background I quickly created a gradient orientated in radial shape. I used white and light blue. I then download snowflake brushes and placed them all over the background. I then created a new layer at the top of the layers and added more snowflakes to the top layer. I went on dafont.com and got a christmas font, after adding it on, I added many FX to it.

Heal Brush Tutorial

For this tutorial, I used the heal brush tool along with the clone brush tool as I prefer that.
Firstly, I used the clone brush tool on all the spots by selecting a place without spots and drew over them. After that I used the heal brush tool on the rosy cheeks. Thirdly, duplicated the edited layer and selected around the nose, I then resized it to be smaller and used the clone brush tool and eraser tool to blend it in, to make it look natural. I then selected the iris and played around with hue/saturation until  it looks of a brighter colour. I did the same with lips and hair. I then created a new layer with every detail edited on and changed the curves and hue/saturation, to make her look more tanned.
