How to create Snowflakes Wallpaper for Christmas 2011 with Photoshop

In this tutorial we will learn how to make wallpaper for use duringChristmas holidays in 2011 for this first tutorial we will learn tocreate a snowflake using photoshop


Start by making a new document in Photoshop. After creating your document, fill the background with a gradient. For this select some appropriate colors, for example colors of #8cdbe8 and #49aedd 

Create a new layer, then select the Brush Tool and a soft round brush with size about 150 px. Make a couple of strokes, using white color

Apply Filter > Blur > Motion Blur with the next presets


then create one more new layer and fill it with black color, then apply Filter > Noise > Add Noise with similar settings to these

After that change layer mode to Screen

Apply Filter > Blur > Motion Blur with the next preset

You can see the result below

Start to create our own snowflakes. Select the Line Tool (Weight: 5 px) and make a couple of lines using color of #4bb4f0 like on picture below

Merge all lines in one layer and press Ctrl+J to duplicate this layer. Apply Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal to make horizontally reflected copy

now merge two of these layers again and press Ctrl+J to duplicate this layer one more time. Apply Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical to make vertically reflected copy

After that merge two of these new layers again, press Ctrl+J and rotate copied layer with Edit > Transform > Rotate 90 CW

Merge two of layers again, and press Ctrl+J again and apply Edit > Transform > Free Transform for new copied layer

Merge two of these layers the last. We are done with snowflake shape. Now I would like to stylize its view. Apply Filter > Stylize > Diffuse with similar settings to these

We've to get something like this

after that apply Outer Glow and Gradient Overlay layer styles to this layer


Our picture should look as below

After that I would like to create a little snowfall
