Iced Roses Tutorial

Open a new 400x400 transparent image and from your tube that you use as background choose a light colour for foreground and dark colour for background
Colours I used are dcabb1 for foreground and b2b1c1 background.
In your foreground create a gradient with style of radial angle 0 and repeat 5
Flood fill your new image with the gradient then adjust> blur> gaussian blur of 10
go to effects>texture effects> texture, choose your texture from the texture box I used mosaque09 with the following settings;
Size 100, smoothness 0, depth 2, ambience 0, shininess 0, colour white, angle 315, intensity 50 and elevation 30.
Open your background tube copy and then copy and paste as new layer.
Adjust the size of your tube if necessary and then drop opacity to 20.
Now merge down and go to effects >browser effects >choose distortion effects> and then displacement maps> in your displacement maps choose the displacement map under ice; now click on modify and adjust these settings; Stretch to fit image blur 0, 3d surface, intensity 30 and check repeat.
