Photoshop Tutorial - Gift Tag

Over at the Photoshop Tutorials Blog they have a very easy tutorial on how to create a gift tag (like the one I did to the left) with Photoshop.

With this tutorial I am going to show you how to draw a gift tag like the one below. Of course this tutorial isn’t going to teach you something that you are going to use everyday, but I believe it’s useful because learning to draw simple objects like that is going to help develop your Photoshop drawing skills and gradually move on to more complex objects.

You can see my finished tutorial example to the left with my own extra twist (literally) added in. Here is my Photoshop file if you are interested.

I learned a bunch of neat things in this tutorial What the Pen Tool can do, Custom Shape Tool, the Eclipse Tool and it's Subtract from Shape option and Gradients (although it's not specified on how to create your own gradient I did figure it out on my own).
