Well here are the steps you need to follow for color blending:
1. Open A new Document, mines 400x130
2. Fill in your Background layer with black
3. Create A new layer and switch your Foreground color to white
4. Now this is where your creativity comes in. Take a brush and press it a few times on your new layer. Then, switch brushes, and do the same thing. Keep doing this until you think it looks good. You can keep it all on one layer if you wish, are keep making new layers and overlaying them, its all up to you.
This is what I have so far, with out the annoying anti-rip text
Yours Will look different unless you have used the same brushes
5. Now here's where the color part comes in. There are many ways to color blend, but I think this way is very easy. Make a new layer above the brushing layer and get out your gradient tool.
*You should have 3 layers after making this one, the black background layer, the brush layer, and than this layer that you made*
6. You can use any colors you want, but for this I used
C65454- For the Foreground
CC2FF9- For the Background
Drag your gradient tool to the left to make a nice red to purple gradient. You can have it set on Radial or Linear, whatever looks better for you.
7. After you have done this, set the color layer to Overlay, Soft Light or Hard light, what ever you prefer. This changes the layers blending option and gives our brushing layer a nice color.
8. All that's left is to add a render and text. Get a render, paste it into the sig, ABOVE all of the layers, and cut it out/ resize it to your liking.
After it is resized and cut, you can do 1 of 2 things.
Place the render BELOW the Gradient layer and set it to luminosity to completely blend it
OR
Place it under the gradient layer and leave it alone.
There is no best way out of these two choices, it all depends on the render you use and the shading on it etc.
You are Done! Just add text and a border and your all set.
Here is the final result:
