I saw this link recently somewhere – cannot even remember where – about a Photoshop effect and was intrigued. It was so pretty! I have Photoshop on my computer but rarely use it. Back in the day, I used to use it quite a bit for an unnamed website and felt comfortable with the program.

These days? Not so much… I am very much lost in all the different features. But I thought I’d try this step-by-step guide as a little challenge to see if I could do it.

Well. It took 2 different evenings, a plea for help on Twitter, a phone call with a friend and an IM conversation with someone else to figure it out. So I’m quite proud of myself for actually figuring it out, if I do say so myself.

(Let’s not discuss the fact that there is a video of the tutorial at the bottom. Sigh. Darn me and my lack of scrolling skills. I clearly should have gone all the way to the bottom before I began. Yikes.)

Here is the finished product! Yes, this is what I do with my Saturday nights.
