This tutorial was written using PSP version 7.02
It uses the following plugins:

CPK Designs

Simple Filters

FM Tile Tools

Let's get started!

Open a new image size 200x200, transparent background.


1.    Set your foreground color to gradient with the following settings:



This tutorial works best with a gradient that has 3 colors in it,
My best results had one color in a dark shade and a lighter shade and then a contrasting color.
Like above I have a dark turquoise and a light turquoise and a peachy color.
Floodfill with your gradient.


2.   Go to Effects...Plug-in Filters...CPK Designs
CPK Spin
Set Number of Spins & Visibility both to 100.



2.   Go to Effects...Plug-in Filters...Simple...4 Way Average.


3.   Go to Effects...Plug-in Filters...Simple...Diamonds


4.   Go to Effects...Blur...Soften


5.   Go to Effects...Plug-in Filters...FM Tile Tools...Blend Emboss
Use the default settings.


You can make what you want with your result but please do not try to make money with it!
