6:24 PM Sweet red 3D love text effect

In this tutorial we will create a sweet red 3D text effect with brushes, transform tools, layer styles in easy steps without using any 3D programs. Resources:  Phat guy font  Heart brushes  Floral swirl brushes 1. Create a new document ( i use 500x400 px) and fill it color 520100. 2. New layer, use text tool, font Phat guy, 100 pt with color aa0b09 to type Love text: Right click it, choose Rasterize Type: 3. Duplicate this layer, choose Blending options: Then hit Alt+ ↑ (arrow up key) to "nudge up" this layer 10 times. Then merge all layer copy ( that have Bevel and emboss effect), we have: 4. Drag the first text layer ( that doesnt have Bevel and emboss effect ) on the top. Move it up a bit to create a 3d surface effect: Then right click it, choose Blending options: Come back to text layer copy, choose Blending options too: 5. Merge all text layer, apply drop shadow: 6. New layer, place it under text layer. Use soft brush, color d01815 to spot on the center of the pic, then lower opacity to 50%: 7. New layer, i use heart brushes, number  160 with red color to draw some hearts on the pic ( you can choose what brush you like), then duplicate this layer. 8. New layer, i use heart brush, number 120 with light color fbd6d6 to draw hearts on pic then lower opacity to 20% like the pic below: 9. New layer again, i use hard brush, color f41916 and with different opacities to paint on the pic then change the mode to Hard light 100 % to create a bokeh effect: 10. 3 new layers, i use floral swirl brushes with number 2402, 2445, 2484, color f65553 to draw on the pic and transform them: 11. New layer, i use brush with light red and white color, hardness 50%, 3 px to draw some sparkles above the text, then apply Outer glow with default settings: 12. We will continue with a new layer, set it on the top. Use Retangular marquee tool to grab a selection then use soft white brush to spot within it: Hit Ctrl+T to transform it: After deselecting, set it to Soft light 100%, duplicate it 4 times, change opacity and move to different positions. I add a layer mask to erase some too sharp parts of them: 13. New layer, set to Overlay: I use Dodge tool to lighten the pic center. Final effect:

Something you should read before leaving your words:

1. Pls use English or Vietnamese only which i can understand. Comments with another languages will be deleted.

2. Pls be kind. You can say your own thinkings, opinions, ideas even negative ones, but i don't accept the rudeness or if you lack the respect to me and my readers.
3. Pls don't use only emoticons or one word "hi" to represent your voice. All of such comments will be deleted. If you really want to say something, why don't leave more impressions?
4. No spam, advertisement ( cheap host, back link...) or stuffs that are not relevant to me or my blog content. Comments are always pre-moderated so the spams will not get any chances to be published.
5. Pls don't ask if they are not relevant to my blog content ( for example: ask me to help to do an effect on another site). I've been so busy so hard to follow such requests.
6. Html code for comment board is disabled. So pls don't use it here. But if you want to leave the link of your site here, just do it with prefix http://. For example http://www.google.com. Is it simple, isn't it ?
And now, have fun!
