Realization
Step 1
open the alpha layer – window > duplicate (or Ctrl + D)
close the original and work with the copy > rename it : Raster 1
Step 2
in the materials palette, set color 1 as FG color
and color 2 as BG color
Step 3
prepare a linear gradient
flood fill the layer with this gradient
Step 4
layers > duplicate (TWICE)
the active layer is « Copy2 of Raster 1 »
open the mask and minimize it to tray
layers > new mask layer > from image
layers > merge > merge group
effects > edge effects > enhance
effects > image effects > seamless tiling
if you changed the colors and chose light color > adjust > sharpness > sharpen
Step 5
acitvate the layer « copy of Raster 1 »
effects > plugins > Unlimited 2 > Visual Manipulation > Transmission
image > mirror > mirror horizontal
blend mode of the layer : Overlay
adjust > shrapness > sharpen more
Step 6
« copy of Raster 1 » is still active
layers > duplicate
layers > arrange > bring to top
image > resize > uncheck « all layers » >30%
effects > image effects > seamless tiling > default settings
Step 7
selections > load-save selection > from alpha channel > selection #1
edit > cut – edit > paste as new layer (Raster 2)
selections > select none
Step 8
activate « Copy 2 of Raster 1 »
effects > plugins > Simple > Left Right Wrap
image > free rotate
effects > plugins > Mura’s Meister > Copies
effects > image effects > seamless tiling
Step 9
copy / paste as new layer the element 1
don’t move it
if you changed the colors, set the blend mode on « Luminance (Legacy) » (or other)
Step 10
in the materials palette, prepare a linear gradient with colors 3 (FG) and 4 (BG)

Step 12
layers > new raster layer
flood fill the selection with the gradient
effects > plugins > AP 01[Innovations] > Lines – Silverlining
selections > select none
Step 13
effects > plugins > Distort > Shear
layers > duplicate – image > mirror > mirror horizontal
layers > merge > merge down
effects > image effects > seamless tiling
blend mode of the layer : Luminance (Legacy) – opacity : 50%
Step 14
your layers palette looks like this
Step 15
activate the top layer (Raster 2)
selections > load-save selection > from alpha channel > selection #1
adjust > blur > gaussian blur > 10
layers > new raster layer
copy/paste into selection the eye tube 15
adjust > sharpness > sharpen
layers > merge > merge down
effects >3D effects > drop shadow
selections > select none
Step 16
selections > load-save selection > from alpha channel > selection #2
layers > new raster layer (Raster 5)
flood fill the selection with the following gradient
(colors 3 and 4 as FG and BG colors)
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow as before
selections > select none
layers > arrange > move the layer under « Raster 2 »
activate « Raster 2 » - layers > merge > merge down
Step 17

adjust > sharpness > sharpen more
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow as before
Step 20
copy / paste as new layer the tube « fleurs_265 »
image > resize > 75%
place it as shown on the final result
adjust > sharpness > sharpen more
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow as before
Step 21
