5:24 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:

Its pretty much a masterpiece, and I love how you can use it with any other text and it turns out much the same, unlike other tutorials, where if you use a different letter, it messes the text effect up completely. I would love to see more text effects from you Link with http is no 0   Spam 33 Admin   (2011-02-27 4:31 PM) [Entry] lol...i just hoped its enough lovely and sweet ....thanks for your nice words and hope to see you here more in my next tutorials .
