You need to invert the selection (Ctrl+Shift+I) because we selected the background not the butterfly. Then pressCtrl+J (Layer via copy). Now we have the butterfly isolated. Turn off the background layer. Load Hue/Saturation box and remove the lightness.
Make selection using Marquee Tool. Go to Edit>Define Brush Preset. Click Ok to confirm.
Let’s put the brush to use.
Switch back to Illustrator for the last time. Create some simple lines using the Blend Tool. Change the stroke color to white. Copy and paste into Photoshop.
After you reposition it right click on the layer and choose Rasterize Layer option to rasterize the layer. Apply a little Gaussian Blur.
Blend smoothly.
Create a light streak. Follow the picture below.
Add text.
Bring in the paint texture (aqueous_sun_textures_v2_031.JPEG). Rotate it and resize to cover the entire canvas. Perform all the transformations in one shot. Otherwise you will lose the sharpness.
Double click on the thumbnail of the layer, Adjust these settings.
Add Curves adjustment layer above all layers.
And for the final touch I have added lightning effect to the composition purely for aesthetical purpose using Alien Skin Xenofex plug-in. However it is not free plug-in. If you have it then you can use it or else omit this step. Now that finishes this tutorial.
