ARABESQUE Transparent Seamless Overlay Pack Copyright ©2013 Roberta Dugan Created by: fractalartist01/Roberta B. Dugan --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --Definition for ar·a·besque: [ar-uh-besk]: Noun: a sinuous, spiraling, undulating, or serpentine line or linear motif. Any ornament or ornamental object, pattern or mosaic, in which swirly flowing lines, flowers, foliage, fruits, vases, animals, and figures are represented in a fancifully combined swirled or geometric pattern. Adj: Decorated with or characterized by arabesques. --The arabesque is a pattern well known to the modern blacksmith who fabricates ornamental wrought-iron work gates and balustrades using the form. It has formed the basis of many wall-paper designs. Certain of the more fantastical paintings of Van Gogh show clouds and backgrounds in arabesque shapes. --This is a designer resource pack of 30 seamless transparent png overlays and was created to save you both time and extra work, while also helping you create hundreds of lovely Arabesque designs! If you do a Google search for "Arabesque images" you will see many intricate swirly and geometric ornaments like the ones I used to create the seamless patterns for this set of overlays. --You will receive 30 seamless transparent fancy seamless transparent arabesque style print overlays that can be used hundreds of different ways! They have an elegant and ornate quality and can be used in hundreds of different ways for hundreds of design projects-year after year! These overlays are .png files that can be used in any application. They are totally seamless and have no background or shadows. Created at 300dpi, they will work perfectly for either the web or print design. These are wonderful for making backgrounds! And also great for creating beautifully embossed arabesque product page backgrounds. --Mini-Tut_01: Vendors of scrapbooking/web designers: Make a plain colored or fabric seamless background at 600x600pixels/300dpi. Lay a COPY of one of the plain black transparent swirled overlays over that background layer. (or you can select and fill with your pattern bucket of fill tool) The overlay should be on its' own layer-right above the background layer. Go to the Blend Modes tool for the overlay layer and change it to "Overlay" or "Multipy"...and viola! You can adjust the opacity of the overlay layer according to how bright or dark you want your embossing to appear. I usually take mine down to about 75%, but that will vary with the background used and the type of effect effect you want. Always use your eye to make the paper/background exactly the way you want it and then merge the two layers together. You now have an engraved/embossed seamless pattern/background in your desired color and swirl embossing. Use this in hundreds of different ways!! (the embossing also looks great over print backgounds) --Of course, you can also style them with layer styles; use other plug-in filters on them; emboss or engrave them or even fill them with solid colors or prints. Create beautiful embellishments, wallpapers, backgrounds, scrapbooking papers, fill picture frames, clothing, household items, etc. Use them over and over again, for many years to come! --Tip: Because these overlays are seamless and 600x600 pixels, you can fill any size image (divisible by 600) by using your pattern fill tool or paint bucket and tapping the overlay inside with one click! --MINI-TUT_02: Using your ruler and tap a 1200 pixels transparency at 600 pixels height x 600 pixels width point on your page and it will still be seamless. The same applies for any blank image or background that is divisible by 600: 1200, 1800, 2400, 3600 pixels, etc. So, you are not just limited to using them at the 600pixels size.
