Christmas Card

Author: graphics-illustrations.com More by this author


Create a new file 5" x 7" at 300pix/inch in RGB mode. Color the background layer with a blue linear gradient.

image 1

Draw some basic tree shape or use my "tree.eps". Place the "tree.eps" as "smart object".

image 2

Copy it (Ctrl+J on PC or Cmd+J on Mac) as much as you want - resize it and plant it all over your Christmas card.

image 3

You can resize it freely because it's vector format and it will not loose a bit on quality.

image 4

Color them in different tones of white and blue to create an illusion of depth, 3rd dimension.

image 5

Create a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N on PC or Cmd+Shift+N on Mac), use snowflake brush from brush set "Grunge Snowflakes Brush" - spread snowflakes in different sizes all over the background.

image 6

Color the layer with the snowflakes with "Gradient Overlay" from white to approx 45% of cyan.

image 7

Now you can write "Merry Christmas" or "Happy New Year" and Christmas card is finished!
