Gold And Ruby Text
In this tutorial you will be learning how to create gold text with a shiny ruby centre. Enjoy.
Step 1
Ok, to start off, we will need to open a new document. I have used 300x300px. I will be using a plain white background for this tutorial. Select a large fat or bold font, this gives for a better effect for the inner ruby filling. I have used the font AuntBertha, which you can download from Here
Step 2
Select the horizontal type tool and type your text in the centre of the canvas. I have mine below.
Step 3
In this step we will be applying the gold colour to the text. Select your text layer and apply the following style settings.
Step 4
We are now going to add the ruby filling, so here we go. Control click the text thumbnail in the layers pallet to select the text. Contract the selected area by about 5 pixels or what looks good on your font. It should look something like this.
Step 5
Create a new layer and fill in the area which should still be selected. Once that is done, apply the f ollowing style settings.
Hit the "OK" button and hopefully you should end up with this.
