Before moving ahead with the tutorial, have a look at the finished theme image.

Step1:-

We are going to start by creating a document in Photoshop of size 900×600 pixels and fill it with a radial gradient of color green to very light green (#4ca858 to #9ee6a8 from left to right).

Step2:-

Open up the grass image in Photoshop and select a square piece using Rectangular Marquee Tool. Copy the selected area.

Step3:-

Paste the square piece of grass on our background.

Step4:-

Now grab the eraser tool with soft round shape and erase the grass in a way that it could look like a house structure. Set the Blend Mode to Linear Light and leave the Opacity to 100%.

Step5:-

Select a rectangular marquee tool and cut out a rectangular piece for the door as shown in the picture below.

Step6:-

Now we’re going to give this house shape drop shadow effect by right clicking on the grass layer and select Blending Options in the drop down menu, then check on the drop shadow. Make the settings according to the picture shown below.

Step7:-

Now paste the cut out door piece in its place. Blend Mode will be normal with 100% Opacity and no drop shadow effect.

Step8:-

Now we will add a small chimney and to do that cut another square piece from the grass image and paste it on our grass house as shown below. Set the Blend Mode to Linear Light like the rest of the house.

Step9:-

Open up the vine image and select the vine and leaves out of its background using Quick Selection Tool.

Step10:-

Paste it on our house and re-size it by pressing Ctrl+t.

Step11:-

Add drop shadow to it, like we did before for the house.

Step12:-

Add another vine repeating the same process as for the first one.

Step13:-

It’s time to add some beautiful sunflowers to our house. Open up the flower image, cut it out of its background and paste it on the house as shown below. Repeat the process 4 or 5 times for more flowers.

Step14:-

Now we are going to add text. Cut out another grass patch in a rectangular shape and paste it on our back ground then select the typing tool with color white and of size 72pt and the font style is Franklin Gothic Demi Cond. Type Green Living on the grass patch as shown in the picture below.

Step15:-

Now select the grass patch and use an eraser. The text is in front of you so all you have to do now is trace the text with eraser and when we’ll hide the text layer the text carved in grass by eraser will appear as shown below.

Step16:-

Add a vine and some flowers to our rectangular grass patch with text.

Step17:-

Now we are going to make multi-colored bubbles coming out of the chimney instead of smoke. Select a round marquee tool and make a small circle. Fill it with a multi-colored gradient as shown below.

Step18:-

Right click on the bubble layer and choose Blending Options from the drop down menu and make checks on drop shadow, outer glow, inner glow and Bevel and Emboss as shown below.

Step19:-

Reduce the Opacity to 10% and draw a white spot on the bubble for reflection. Make two more bubbles same way and change their sizes by pressing Ctrl+t.

Apply it on the bottom strips in a new layer. Increase a size of the brush so you would have one single pattern. Press CTRL and click on the layer palette for the bottom stripes and that would automatically load the selection. Now go to your brush layer and using the eraser tool, remove the area, which falls out of the stripes.

Step 7: Silhouettes

Now you would need to download various silhouette images.

Bring the image on the canvas and crop out different silhouettes and copy them in different layers. Position them on the canvas like shown below.

Step 8: Strips

Make two addition strips using the Rectangular Marquee tool or the Rectangular Shape tool. Color both the strips white and change the blending options of the layer to Exclusion. Position the layer right at the top to affect all other layers. And we are all done.

Step 1: Background

Color your background black and create a new layer. Now you need to download some grunge brushes, which can easily be found at Brusheezy.com. Once downloaded and installed, select your brush tool and choose the brush you want to apply on the canvas. Increase the size of the radius to fill the entire canvas. Choose white color for your brush and apply it on the canvas.

Step 8: Continue With The Pattern

Duplicate all the files and press CTRL T. Tilt the lines in different angle as shown below. Now we need to erase the part where both the patterns intersect.

Step 9: Lasso Tool

Pick up the lasso tool and make a selection of the area where both the patterns intersect. Once the selection is made, hit delete.

Step 10: Color Burn

Duplicate the entire pattern and merge it into a single layer. Change the blending options of that layer to Color Burn.

Step 11: Vivid Light

Duplicate the merged layer once more and change the blending options to Vivid Light.

Step 1: Basic Image

You need a basic image to start with, first of all.

Set the grain level to 10px (depending on the size of your canvas) and leave the other options default.

Step 3:  Halftone

Duplicate the layer and go to Filter, Pixelate and choose the Color Halftone filter. Keep the radius to 4px (depending upon the size of your canvas). Go to the blending options of that layer and change the Normal value to Darken.

Step 4: Borders

Select the Rectangle shape tool and make a basic shape that covers the whole canvas. Go to the layer style of that shape layer and choose the stroke option. Set the stroke to 10px. After that, reduce the fill of that particular layer to 0%. You would have this nice white border. Now you can make two additional rectangular shapes as shown below.

Step 5: Ripple Effect

Duplicate all the shape layers and merge them into a single layer. After that, go to Filter, Distort and apply the Ripple Effect. Keep the amount to 50% (differs according to your canvas size).
