make zoom again to be easyer to cut some parts off
sellect lasso tool
one sellected the tool, start cut some parts of the line
it has to be cutted alternated
... so let's do this...
i'll take of the zoom for you to see better the effect
now we give more "life" to the line
go to the blending options of the layer
go to Color Overlay and select white color
if you have the line alredy in white it's not necessary to check this option
than go to Outer Glow
choose this color i havd already here (#69caf9)
do't forget to blend mode it to Color Dodge
Opacity about 80%
Size about 9/10
then go to Inner Glow
Choose the same color
Blend mode it to normal
Opacity 75% and 5 for the size
Firstly rename the layer as "Stroke"
Create a new layer
and rename as "Sparkles"
On that layer crate a new brush
Size 3px
and go edit the options
activate Shape Dinamics
100 ; 0 ; 0 ; 0
Scattering...
1000 ; 1 ; 100
and Brush Type...
Spacing = 100
start contorning the line to give a better effect
copy layer style of Stroke layer and paste it on Sparkles layer
it give an amazing effect
create a new layer
tahe off the sparkles visibility for a moment
name the new layer as Stroke 2
