Gaussian blur 1
Effects Illumination sunburst with the following
settings 100 50 50 77 70 100 (or of course anything else that takes your fancy!) Duplicate
this layer twice so you have three copies of your squares with the illumination and
then turn off the visibility.
Then take your tube - paste as a new layer
then added a drop shadow of 2 2 50 10.
Then I duplicated it twice so that I had three
tube layers then to add some sparkle on each of the tube layers I added some noise:
gaussian, monochrome 40, then on next layer repeat but with 45 and again on the third
layer with noise of 50 .Turn the visibility off on all of these layers
New Layer - add text in whatever colour and font
you fancy and position where you would like it (you may need to turn visibility on for
your squares layer to position your text). Duplicate text layer twice (so you have
three copies). Then add some sparkle to your text as above - making sure you use a
different level of noise on each layer.
Close off visibility on ALL layers - then open one
of each - one tube, one text and one background and merge visible - and then close off
visibility - repeat for the next two layers.
Then with visibility on - resize each layer
seperately by 90%. Make sure your topy layer is active and then take your magic wand
tolerance 0 and click on the blank space around your layer - on the grey and white squres
- now you need to fill with noise again - you can use the same noise as for your text
… on each layer fill with a different noise setting. Keep selected
