1. How to Create the Grunge Paper Background

Step 1

Create a new850 x 550px document. You can, of course, use another size for your PSD file, but you have to proportionally adjust all the sizes used in this tutorial.

Add theGrunge Stained Paper Texture in a new layer.

Step 2

Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer and add a Gradient Map adjustment. The colors used for the gradient map are#7a6849 and#fffbf7.

2. How to Create the Rubber Stamp Shape

Step 1

Pick the Ellipse Tool. Keep the Shift key pressed while you draw, to create a perfect round circle. Call this layer Circle 1.

Step 2

HitCommand/Control-J to duplicate theCircle 1 layerthree times, and call the layersCircle 2,Circle 3, and Circle 4.

Set the Fill of the Circle 1 layer to 0% and also add a Stroke of6 px, color#000000.

Step 3

For the Circle 2 layer hitCommand/Control-T to scale the shape. Make sure to click on the Maintain Aspect Ratio button and set the scale to 95%.

Set theFill of theCircle 2 layer to0% and also add aStroke of4p x, color#000000.

Step 4

For theCircle 3 layer, hitCommand/Control-Tto scale the shape. Make sure to click on theMaintain Aspect Ratio button and set the scale to 75 %.

Set theFill of theCircle 3 layer to0% and also add aStroke of6px, color#000000.

Step 5

Set theFill of theCircle 4 layer to0% and also add aStroke of4px, color#000000.

Step 6

Download the Circle Photoshop Shapes and load the CSH file in Photoshop. Go to Edit > Preset Manager and choosePreset Type > Custom Shapes. Click the Load button to load the CSH file.

Set the Foreground color to#000000. Pick the Custom Shape Tool and make sure you have the Defined Proportions option checked. For this tutorial, I used shape no.17, but you can use any shape you like.

3. How to Add Text on the Rubber Stamp

Click on theVector Mask Thumbnail of the Circle 3 layer. Pick the Horizontal Type Tool and move directly over the circle path. The cursor will change to an I-beam with a dotted wavy line through it.

I used the Intro font and color #000000 for the text. You can use another font type and another color.

4. How to Create the Photo Stamp Effect

Step 1

Add the Man Portrait stock image on a new layer.

Step 2

Keep the Control key pressed and click on theVector MaskThumbnail of the Circle 4 layer to make a selection.

Click on the Add Layer Mask button from the Layers tab to add a mask for theMan Portrait layer.

Step 3

Make sure the Foreground color is set to #000000 and the Background color is set to #ffffff, otherwise the next photo effect will not look right.

Go to Filter > Sketch > Stamp and set the Light/Dark Balance to 4 and the Smoothness to 1.

Step 4

Open the Layer Style window of the Man Portrait layer. TheBlend If sliders are at the foot of this dialog. Use the sliders calledThis Layer to remove the white color. Simply drag the right slider to 180 to hide the white color.

Right-click on theMan Portrait layer and choose Convert to Smart Object.

5. How to Add a Grungy Effect

Step 1

Select all the stamp layers (theCircle layers, theText layer and theMan Portrait layer), right-click on the layers, and chooseConvert to Smart Object.

Add a Layer Mask to the Man Portrait Smart Object. Pick the Brush Tooland set the Brush Size to around 800 px. Also set the Foreground Color to #000000. Use theGrunge Photoshop Brushes to create grungy stamp effects; use different brushes.

Step 2

Create a new layer and call it Stamp Lines. Pick the Brush Tool and from the Rubber Stamp Photoshop Brushes, use the stamp-lines brush.

Add a Layer Mask to the Stamp Lines layer. Again, use the Grunge Photoshop Brushes to create grungy stamp effects and also to hide some parts of the stamp lines that cover the stamp.

6. How to Create a Multi-Colored Rubber Stamp

If you want to create a multi-colored rubber stamp, you can add a Color Overlay layer style to theMan Portrait Smart Object using color#d9a4ae, or you can add different colors for the layers inside the Smart Object.

For the final touches, create a new layer and call itOld Envelope Stamp Brushes. You can use the Old Envelope Stamp Brushes to add a realistic old envelope effect. Use color #b24659 and color #b24659 to add different stamps.
