Christmas Holly tutorial
6. Rasterize the leaf shape and apply a gradient overlay style with the settings shown below.

I also drew a black line at the middle of the leaf and here is my final Christmas holly leaf

7. I duplicated my layer two times and then free tranformed (Edit-> Free transform) the two new layers in order to position them like this.

8. Then select the Ellipse Tool
again, set the color to red and draw a perfect circle (hold Shift while drawing).

9. Apply a Gradient Overlay and a Stroke style on the new layer using the settings shown below.


You should get something like this
10. Finally, duplicate this layer a few times and then move the duplicate layers anyway you like to get the result you want. Here is my final result.
