Ice Mask

Image 17:

Now make a selection of the pattern design layer.
Select >> Load Selection
This makes a selection around the design. Turn off the visibility of the design layer and right click on the mask layer.
Go down to Layer Via Copy
This will create a new layer with the shape of the design layer filled in with the pattern of the mask.

Apply a Pillow Emboss
Layer >> Layer Style >> Bevel and Emboss (select pillow emboss from the drop down menu)
Play around with settings until you achieve something that looks good.

Image 18:

It's a little hard to see on the image above, due to the picture being scaled down to fit on the web page BUT what I did here was adjusted the colour of the design layer. It's a little easier to see the difference on the more purple chin design area. You can do this using Hue/Saturation or Colour Balance (moving the magenta slider).

Finally

I erased the ends of the design, which came to a hard point at the ends, using a soft eraser brush.

That concludes this ice mask tutorial!
I hope you enjoyed it and maybe picked up a new trick or two. Remember that experimenting is the key.
