Work with your layers
Layers are an important tool of Photoshop, they basically allow you to stack each element of your design so that you can edit and play around with different elements of your design without affecting the others. However, they can also allow you to add new dimensions to your image for an example a gradient, by simply adding the gradient to the new layer and then turning down the opacity so you can still see the other layers beneath the gradient.
