Easter Cards

Create a new file (File>New) that must have 1280x1024 px and 72 dpi.

Select after that the Rectangle Tool (U) to create the background of the picture we want to get.

Select next demonstrated parameters by making a mouse click on the processed layer on the layers' panel. Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient's parameters:

Use the same tool to represent a white flatness that may be turned over with Free Transform option the way demonstrated below:

Blending Options>Stroke

Create a new layer and use on it a standard brush colored with #DA0E0F, for representing the frame around the white element.

The parameters for “Brushes” solution:

Press SHIFT button to represent the frame we want to get:

Choose then the Ellipse Tool (U) to draw the shape of an Easter egg. The Convert Point Tool is used when wanting to make the corrections on the egg's shape:

The layer's parameters: Blending Options>Inner Shadow

Make a copy of the last made layer, changing the copy's color on this one #45010A (move off the effects). Then select Free Transform solution to move the copy's position to the right side on the top, placing it also lower than the previous layer (on the layers' panel).

Now we should represent a separate file of 1024x768 px and 72 dpi which must be filled with black color, applying the Paint Bucket Tool (G).

Select then the Rectangle Tool (U) to draw five white thin lines:

Combine in a group all the layers containing the lines (press Ctrl button for marking out all the necessary layers and then hold on the left mouse's button to take the marked layers on Create a new group selection). Put together the group's elements in a single layer, pressing Ctrl+E and choose for the new layer this demonstrated option - Filter>Distort>Wave

Next insert the last made layer with the wavy lines above the Easter egg. Press Ctrl+T and switch between Free Transform and Warp modes. The tops on the edge should be united in the same point, indicated below. We'll get the perspective's effect.

Press Alt button and make a mouse click between the lines' layers and the egg's one (on the layers' panel).

Use the same method for representing the white lines to represent another line of white color too. Use the same filter. Apply the Free Transform option for the last line's layer to stretch the wavy line horizontally.

Make two copies of the last made layer and then select Free Transform option to place the copies as it is shown on the next image:

Press Alt button while making a mouse click between the lines' layers (on the layers' panel) for the lines to get in the limits of the demonstrated egg.

Choose the Rectangle Tool (U) to represent two more horizontal white lines on which must be used the earlier applied filter Wave (repeat the earlier described stages). Place the lines' layers above the Easter egg. Press Ctrl+T and switch between Free Transform and Warp modes. The tops on the edge will be reunited in the same point the way we did earlier with the previous lines.

Make a copy of the last made layer and choose again the Free Transform option to turn over the copy, placing it as below:

Press Alt button and make a mouse click between the wavy lines' layers (on the layers' panel) for the lines to be applied in the limits of the Easter egg.

Create a new layer again for using on it a standard brush of white color to insert one more element of the egg's ornament we want to get finally.

Use the same parameters out of the “Brushes” solution, applied earlier:

Use Free Transform (warp) option to move a little to the upper side the demonstrated below tops.
