Clody cartoon style content box

In this Photoshop tutorial you will see how to make a content box cartoon style, I'm not sure what really inspired me, but I started out making a simple cloud shape and ended with this result.

First off we will draw the base shape, se grab the rounded rectangle tool and drag out a box on the stage as shown below. (its a good thing not a have a white background color, because our content box will be quite white).

Now we will make the cloud shape at the upper right corner, so grab the elliptical selection tool, using the "add to selection" mode. and drag small selection on top of each other as I did the process below.

Then you will end up with a shape like this one.

Now go to the layers panel and select the layers we just created, right click and choose "merge layers".

Double click the shape layer in the layers panel to get to the layers styles panel and give it settings as shown below.

Now we will make the inner part of our content box, so again with the rounded rectangle tool drag out a shape inside our box. In the layers panel again double click the new layer and give it styles as shown below.

The last thing is to make some decorations on our box, so locate the custom shapes panel and located the "grass" shape from the custom shapes panel and drag it on the stage on top of your green box layer as shown below.

Now just above the layers panel, you will find a roll out panel, this is for blending modes, set it to multiply so our grass will blend in with the underlaying layer.
