Creating a Peeling Sticker:

Creating my peeling sticker was realtivly simple. The first thing I needed to do was draw my circle shape. To do this I picked the colour I wanted my shape to be inside- yellow. Then using my circle tool, I drew a large circle:

Next I used the stroke effect to add a blue reasonably thick outline to my shape. My settings were>size> 25 colour > blue> position> Outside.




The next step was adding the letter A for "GRADE A" to the sticker. To do this I first downloaded the font "anje Eilane" The I used my text tool to write A. I then changed the font colour to red:
Next I needed to use the polysagon lassa tool to cut out where I wanted my peel to go on my sitcker. To do this I simply used the polysago lasso tool to draw a triange, I then right clicked over the shape I had just cut out and clicked Layer Via cut which then seperated the cut I had just made from the overall sticker.

Next I will use my rotate tool to flip the piece horizontally so that it overlaps the sticker.

Now that I have successfully rotated the piece of my sticker, I am now going to use the fill tool, too turn the peeled piece of the sticker completely grey.

Next in order to make my shape look more like a sticker, I decided to use the effect overspray to add a better texture to the peel part of my sticker.

Finally I have decided to add a white stroke around the red letter "A" as I want the letter to really stand out. So to do this I will use the same method as I have used for making a blue outline for my sticker, only this time the effect will be placed on top of my font rather than my shape.

I have now finished creating my sticker and here is the finished product:
