Photoshop Web Layouts - Blue Button Flower Menu

In this Photoshop Tutorial I will show you how to create the Blue Button Flower Menu that I have created. Please see the image that I have provided to see the ending results. There are four parts to this menu. First we will create the border of the menu. Then we will create the button. Next we will put the flower on the button and last we will add the text.

How to Create a Blue Button Flower Menu in Photoshop

First, we will need to create a new canvas. Create it about 500 pixels by 500 pixels. You can crop it when you are done. Set the background to white.

Now we will create the Border for the menu.

Create a new layer and name it Border. Select your Rectangle Tool and draw a rectangle long ways on your canvas. Judge the length by about how many buttons you need. You can shrink the border at the end if needed.

Right click on your Border Layer and Select Rasterize Layer. Right click on it again and click Blending Options. This is where you will apply the effects needed to create the border.
