Making Spring cards with Photoshop (Part 2)

In part 1, we have taken simple steps to create a petal of spring red with yellow apricot branches using Photoshop.

In this section, we will implement the card on the blue background of the banh chung.

1. In Photoshop, create a new file, size 800x600, then use the Paint bucket tool to pour the ripe green color (color code 008e0a) into the first layer.

2. Go to Layer / New layer , click OK to create a new layer. On this layer, we use the Rectangular Marquee tool (shortcut M) to create two selections that are perpendicular to each other, then fill the yellow color of the cake string (color code fff6a8), shown below.
