Any similarity to other works is unintentional and purely coincidental

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Open blank canvas 700 x 700 

floodfill white

text tool

Font of choice

I am using "An Unfortunate Event"

size 100, fore and back color black

stroke width 3

type the word "Sweet"

convert to raster

select all, float, defloat

new raster layer

floodfill with color/pattern/gradient of choice

expand by 3

new raster layer

floodfill with different color/pattern/gradient of choice

add noise 100, uniform & monochrome checked

deselect

drag this layer below your gradient layer

copy and paste roses as new layer

resize by 60

duplicate

I rotated the first one slightly to the right 

and positioned so it was diagonally across the end of my word

and the duplicate a position towards the bottom left of my word

merge the two rose layers together

make noise layer active

select all, float, defloat

now on your rose layer use your eraser to 

erase some of the roses

you may need to change the size of your eraser as you go

so you only erase the parts you want

in the image below I am going to erase the rose that has been cut off

Here it is erased

Keep erasing parts until you are happy that it looks

like the roses are entwined round the word

you should end up with something like this

Now copy and paste as many of the sweet treats as you wish

and position to your liking

I placed some in front of everything

and some behind the word "Sweet"

dropshadow the sweet treats, the roses & the noise layer

2,5,50,8,black

using a different font

I used Blueberry Oatmeal, size 100, color black

write out the word "Treats"

convert to raster

select all, float, defloat

new raster layer

floodfill with same gradient as before but change

the angle and repeats to 0

effects, eye candy 4, gradient glow

dropshadow as before

delete your white background layer
