Textured Christmas Tree Ornament

Materials Needed - PSP 9 - get it here

Eye Candy 3

Topper tube - you can download the one I used here - I do not know who the creator is, if anyone does please let me know.

1. Open a new image 300 x 300. Set your foreground to pattern, Liquid Satin, size 70, angle 45 and flood fill your image

2. Effects--->Reflection Effects--->Feedback. Opacity 100, Intensity 100, Horizontal and Vertical offset, each 0.

3. Effects--->Reflection Effects--->Kaleidoscope. Use the following settings:

4. Effects--->Geometric Effects--->Circle. Edge Mode Transparent. You should now have this:

5. Image--->Resize by 50%, make sure resize all layers is UNchecked. Making it big and resizing gets rid of the "jaggies" that the circle filter causes. Sharpen, if desired.

6. Apply Eye Candy 3 Glass, click here for the settings (will open in a new window). I wanted mine a bit lighter so I lightened it by 18. (Adjust--->Brightness and Contrast--->Brightness/Contrast)

7. Add a new raster layer, with your selection tool , draw a rectangle on top of the ornament.

8. Go back to your ornament layer and click on your clone brush , using these settings:

Right click on an area near the top of your ornament. Now, go back to the layer with your selection. Place the cursor at the left side of the selection, hold down the left mouse button and drag the cursor over to the right to fill in the selection and deselect.

       

If you like, move the layer to below the ornament layer (Layers--->Arrange--->Move Down.

9. Add a new layer and apply your topper tube - you might have to play around with the scale and use the deform tool a bit to get it the right size. Merge visible your layers and you have an ornament to use for your Christmas trees.

You can get different looks by using different patterns. Above, the dark blue ornament, I used Mosaic - Glass before Feedback and Kaleidoscope. I also lowered the Refraction to 0 on the EC preset (and did with the rest, as well). The green one, I used the Paper pattern, then the Feed back and Kaleidoscope and colorized it. The light blue one, I used Pastel Blue Splatters pattern, everything else the same. The pink one I used Marble pattern, then Rough Leather texture before the Feedback and Kaleidoscope, and colorized. Play around with different patterns and textures - the possibilites are endless.

Enjoy!
