This was very nicely done. I am very happy with my result. The lines were a bit tricky to make, but the pen tool can be such a pain in the butt sometimes. Thanks for the tutorial

I used the pen tool and drew the box and the line squigly line.I have tried everything from the background color being a seprate layer from the back (that just makes everything the gradient, even with the pen tool), making the pen have its own layer (does nothing). What am I doing wrong

To make those wonderful little patterns with the pen tool - Select the background layer (Your dark red) and use the pen tool to create a design. Be sure to close it. right click the line this makes and “Make selection.” Proceed to Ctrl + C (Command + C for mac users) and immediately Ctrl + V (Command + V.) This will create a new Layer with a red design that is the inside of your selection with the pen tool.
Add the blends to this layer, then copy the layer styles.
You can now redo this continually, remember to paste the layer styles to the new layers, and remember to select from the background (unless you merge layers, you just need a solid selection.)
Enjoy - Gaka

Jessie: The creator made a bad tutorial. no doubt.
What he did not mention was.
Duplicate the background layer, apply the blending options and delete the parts you dont want.
if you want to add more areas with the same glow as the one with the blending options just copy paste a part of the background and paste your blending options on to it.

This tutorial is horrible. There seems to be several key steps omitted… kinda defeats the purpose of a “tutorial”. But the finished product looks nice enough.

There it too much missing. I am quite comfortable with photoshop though I couldn’t figure out how to even get the first few steps done as you missed several key intermediate steps. Please fix this.
