    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
