Valentine Stock 1

I made this in Photoshop Elements 9 as free-to-use stock. Only my own stock was used:

Fibonacci Gradient Series 26 found here:

I made a selection area to form a bit of margin all around. I used the 8th gradient in the set, the pink one with the little gray bar, and made a vertical swash down the selected area to form the horizontal gradient. Then I hit INVERSE under SELECT and made two diagonal swashes. Then I deselected. Next I used the color selection tool to pick up the pink, chose a slightly darker shade, and then applied Paint Bucket to two areas. Last, I added the roses and the type. VERY SIMPLE.
