A little thing to improve: When you give the colors of the gradient, also give the position, then we can really recreate the effect or drawing.

I just didn’t understand this phrase :
“select pen tool on a new layer above your simcard but UNDERNEATH your gold plate make a selection like this and fill with the color white.”
can you make it clear please .
ADMIN Says:
basically make a selection as shown inbtween the 2 layers, so the white shine is on the simcard not the gold plate
think of it as a sandwich
simcard 1st (bread) / then the white shine (ham) / then the gold plate (bread)
