Now adjust the opacity of
your gaussian blur layer. I
set my opacity at 57. Make the background layer invisible
by clicking on the glasses. Click on the picture layer and
choose Layers/Merge/Merge Visible. Click on the merged
layer and move the ornament down using the mover tool.
Next choose Layer/New Raster Layer. Click on the draw
tool. Using these settings, draw a ribbon for your ornament.
Now choose Selections/Select
All. Using the Magic Wand,
click on the ribbon to select it. Flood fill with a pattern
or
apply a blade pro preset. I used Dee's Silver Antique
preset. Next Image/Sharpen. Now zoom in using the
magnifying tool and erase the area shown.
Now click on the background
layer and using the bucket
tool, flood fill with a color or pattern of your choice. I
used
color #6B7262. Apply a texture if you like. I used Paint
Engine. I used the Impression1 preset.
Next hide the background layer
by clicking on the glasses.
Click on the merged layer and choose Layers/Merge Visible.
Next choose Layers/View/All. Click on the Merged layer
and add a drop shadow. I used Eye Candy 4000 Shadow
Lab with these settings.
Now choose Layers/Merge/Merge
All. I added borders
and a sparkle to the final image.
