SuperBladePro Tutorial #1:

Filigreed nameplate

On a black background, create some white text.

 

 

Create a new layer, and use an ornament font to make one side of a decorative border.

 

 

Near one end of the border, make a screw by drawing a white circle with a black line through it.

 

Copy and rotate the border and screw three times to make a complete box.

 

Flatten the entire image into a single raster layer.

 

 

Use your paint program's Gaussian Blur tool to slightly soften the edges.

 

 

Select the whole image and invoke SuperBladePro.

Reset the effect by clicking the "simple bevel" button. Then load the gold environment, and turn Embossing up.

 

 

 

 

Adjust the bevel to your liking, and add rain and moss for an aged appearance.

 

 

Click OK to apply the effect.

The result: a weathered gold nameplate.
