This is what your layers should look like now: These are the 2 text layers that we will be adding glitter to. Group the layers “Glitter” and “Color!” together. This is what your image should look like now: Script fonts usually have a nice range of thickness within the letters. I recommend using a thick font when creating this effect.

I also added dotted lines as ornaments to surround the middle text (using the pen tool for this in shape mode).

For the text I chose I have 3 separate text layers: “Glitter”, “is my favorite”, and “Color!” I used Sign Painter House Script for the script text and Nexa Light (size 40px color #6e071d) for the sans-serif text. When typing out your text, create a new layer for each word that you want to cover in glitter. You end up with a nice, clean, layered looking background. Then create a square shape smaller than your canvas (545 x 545px) with the rectangle tool (U).

Here’s a set of 12 free paper textures on Dribbble. I will start by adding a paper background. I’m going with a hot pink glitter because it has great shimmer and gradating tones that will add depth and flow once inserted onto my text. I found a list of 40 great glitter images right here. Make sure to select RGB as the color mode if you’re using this for the web. The file size is 600px x 600px at 72 ppi (pixels per inch). Create a new image in Photoshop (File>New or Command+n).
