At
this point your choices are endless, you could use the image as the sky
in a clipart image or for another image you have made...you could tile
it for a background...the sky's the limit..sorry for the pun ;)
Today,
let's make a plaque!!
With
your selection tool set on rectangle, select the best portion of you sky
and clouds ( size is not imprtant, just choose the area which looks the
best to you!
Now,
Choose a nice contrasting dark blue, I used #52608C and set as your
background color.
go
to Image>Add Borders and use the following settings
With
your magic wand, select your new border so that the ants are marching around
it :)
Go
to Effects>3D Effects>Inner Bevel and select the preset "Pillow" effect,
Deselect
Resize
the image 75% and sharpen once
Click
on your text tool and using an even darker blue as your font color, I choose
#12274A and using any font of your choice, I chose CAC Champagne and any
message of your choice.
To
give a nice reflection of the Text off of the clouds, use the following
Drop Shadow
And
Voila!
