For the Bubbles layer, I used the same Bubbles and HSB Noise settings as the tutorial but I didn't start with an angled gradient. I wanted more color in the background so I used a selected portion of the tube. I didn't realize until after I had applied the two filters that I didn't have the uniform, angled geometry of the bubbles layer
. Because of this, the Constellation effect looked terrible
; it was only displayed on a small portion of the background
. So I opted to animate my tag using VM Natural Sparkle (max size=20). I also added a hint of animation to her eyelid with noise (gaussian, 25).
I don't have the Lokas Aqua filter, so for my text I used an aqua color then applied my favorite glass bevel settings
here and Eye Candy 4000 Glass settings
here (color=#00C000). I set the blend mode to Screen to make it transparent. I have a stroke=1 outline on a layer above the text with the blend mode set to Multiply. So the text outline is dark and the fill is transparent. I added a drop shadow (3, 3, 35, 3, black) on a separate layer below the text because it doesn't show if the drop shadow is on the screen layer.
I wanted the text to look like it was waving in the ocean, so I did a search at Dafont and found
Structure Wave. It's an unusual font but it gives me the feeling of water movement, so I went with it
.
