This tutorial is devoted to creating of a cool and fresh floral effect using the Photoshop. It’s easy to do this with the help of some ornaments, brushes and layer styles. We will also use motion blur. You can see the steps of our work below.

Final Image:

Step 1:

Start with creating a white background. Create a new layer. Then choose type tool and print the word you like.

It’s important to use thick type and take bright colors.

Step 2:

Let’s make a shadow under the text. Go to the Layer Palette and choose “add a layer style->drop shadow”. The shadow must look soft and blur. Set such settings:

It’s the result:

Step 3:

Now it’s time to decorate the word. Create a new layer. Choose one of the “Floral” brush tools and draw a pattern over the word just like I did it, or download a floral pattern and try to cover all the letters by pasting the ornament into the picture! For example I’ve taken brush “Flourish 3”, brush “Flourish 7” and calm yellow e5e297. Don’t be afraid to draw them. You can always take “Eraser tool” and erase everything unnecessary. This is my result:

Step 4:

We are going to improve the image with the help of some effects. Select the text layer. All the effects now will be applied only to the text, and the ornament will stay the same. Go to “Layer->Add Layer Style->Inner Shadow”. The settings you need are below:

Now, do gradient overlay:

Apply stroke structure (Layer->Add Layer Style-> Stroke Structure”):

At this step the picture looks so:

Duplicate the text layer and go to “Noise->Add Noise”

Necessary settings:

Lower opacity of the layer to 11%.

Select the “Butterfly” layer again. Apply “Outer glow”. (Layer->Add Layer Style->Outer Glow”).

Step 5:

Now we will do the background. Create a new layer and place it lower, than the “Butterfly”.

Do a pure blue gradient.

Then, decorate the picture with some ornaments. I used ornaments with butterflies. Don’t forget to place them into a separate layer!!!

After you place them, lower opacity to 35%.

Step 6:

Duplicate the layer with the text. Enlarge the copy to cover the image, and then go to “Blur->Motion Blur” with the settings:

And you will acquire such picture:

Step 7:

If you decide to increase brightness, go to “Image->Adjustments->Curves” and set settings you like. I didn’t change brightness particularly.

This is what I got:

But I think that it is better not to do the curves as the background distracts from the type.

Here we are, the stylish text is now ready. Of course, you can add some layer styles or add a texture to the background. I hope this tutorial was an experience for you!
