Now you get to see why the hell I did that. Double click that layer to bring up the blending options and add an outer glow. Go ahead and put in these settings.
Now we should have a nice little border. For this next part we are going to have to edit an existing custom shape. Grab one of these shapes; make sure you hit the paths button. Now make a new instance, around this size. Press ctrl + h if it disappeared on you.
Now what we have to do is grab all the inner points. To do this, firstly use either the convert point tool or something like the path selection tool either is fine. Now all we have to do is hold shift while selecting the point. If you’re lazy like me you can do these sorts of selections to grab a few points at once.

Now once we have all inner points selected press ctrl + t to transform these inner points. While transforming you will need to hold both shift AND alt. What we need to do is make them go inwards a little more, like so.

Alright, now we need to make this a selection so right click that path and hit “Make Selection”. The options should be: 0 for the feather radius, anti-aliased is checked. Alright now we got this selection. Make a new layer for it and fill it with this colour # bb9a54. Right now it’s looking a bit ugly so set its blending option to “color burn”, like we did before.
If you have something slightly different at this stage don’t worry too much, its just because of the clouds filter we did at the start every person will have something slightly different.
Now we have to grab that stock image of the trophies. I’ve made the background a bright pink so it should be easy to cut out, I’d just use the magic wand. Once its cut out bring it into our picture. As you can see its way to big so press ctrl + t to transform it. If you want do the old shift and alt trick to resize down to something like this.
Now we need that other image, the fern type one. Again cut it out and bring it into our picture. Again it is too big, so resize it like so.
Go ahead and double click that layer to bring up the blending options. Add a gradient overlay with these settings. Play around with it if it doesn’t look right. It should though!
This next step I added a bit of text, the font is “Argus Medium” you can use what ever you wish. Place it like so.
Now what we need to do is select that text. We are looking at the layers. If you have text layers like me you will need to ctrl + click the first thumbnail one then shift + ctrl + click the second thumbnail. If you only have only text layer simply ctrl + click the text layer’s thumbnail. You’re text should now be highlighted.
Now what we need to do is expand that selection so go to select > modify > expand. Enter 3px and hit ok.
Now, with your selection still active, select your fern (leafy thing) layer and hit delete do the same for your star layer. It makes it stand out a little, should look like this.

Now if you have made your own ribbon banner from my previous tutorial its time to get it into our poster. If not I’ve provided you with one in description of this tutorial. Position it like so.
Now go ahead and make a path like so. Here we will place some text. To do so create the path then click on it using your Horizontal Text Tool, press “T” to select the tool.
