Step 1
Create a new document, apply a
Layer Style on the background
layer. Add a Gradient Overlay
and a Pattern Overlay.
Step 2
Here I've used an icon I found on a
cool site, but you can use whatever
you want.
Step 3
Select the Ellipse Tool (U) and
create a shape like I did. After
that apply a Gaussian Blur
(Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur)
with radius of 30px.
Step 4
Create a new Folder name it “Light Effects”. Change its blend mode
to Color Dodge, and move the ellipse you created to this folder.
Step 5
In order to create the sparks we will use the amazing brush engine.
Add a new layer, inside the “Light Effects” layer, set white for the
color and follow the images below.

Step 6
Using the Layer Styles add a Outer Glow to the
sparks
Step 7
Lets add some smoke. Create a new Layer, call it “Smoke”. Change
its blend mode to Color Dodge and select the Lasso Tool. Set 40px
for Feather and create a selection like I did below. After that make
sure that the foreground is white and the background is black and
apply a Filter>Render>Clouds. Tip: Continue applying the filter until
you get the best clouds.
Step 8
Add some text and using the Layer
Styles again lets create a nice effect.
