Font Challenge: Oh My God Stars (Patriotic) - Treehouse Treasures

Oh My God Stars

I was looking for a different font to play with when I found this font and decided to see what I could do with it

. It's a visually interesting

font and can be used to make patriotic text or any other text that you'd use stars

for. I've used it to make a patriotic text tag. No, really?

I nearly "glassed and glitzed" it like I do for so many of my text tags

, but instead I experimented with some different filters and liked my results

.

I'll add my notes below but please feel free to play with this font in whatever way inspires

you and don't forget to show us your results!

Text: size=72, stroke=0, kerning=25, color=#D60000.
Outline: stroke=1, FGcolor=#A0A0A0, BGmaterial=null, blend mode=multipy. You can adjust the grey color for however dark or light you'd like the outline to be.
Drop Shadow: 2, 2, 25, 2, black.
Blinds to the Text layer: effects/texture effects/blinds (width=101, opacity=100, color=#0B3D91, horizontal=checked, light from left/top=checked). You can adjust the width as you like to move the band of the blue vertically in the text as you like.
Contrast Adjustment: layers/new adjustment layer/brightness/contrast (brightness=0, contrast=15). Adding a new layer for the brightness/contrast adjustment allows you to play around with the settings as needed to give dynamic contrast to the text. Add this layer at the top of the layer palette.
Eye Candy 4000 (or Eye Candy 3) HSB Noise: I animated the text with three frames of EC4000 HSB Noise added to the text layer. I chose the Tall Streaks Preset from the Settings Menu then changed the Hue Variation to 40.
hue variation=40
saturation variation=66
brightness variation=37
opacity variation=0
lump width=1.00
lump height=14.40
pattern=smooth lumps
seamless tile=NOT checked

Frame Properties: I set the display time to 15.
Optimization Settings: I used Optimized Octree and Nearest Color on the Colors tab.

If anyone would like one of these tags, then just leave a note in this thread, and I'll hook you up!

This is a great challenge timber. I copied from your settings and made a tag and avatar. I hope to play with this font more in the near future. Thanks for the challenge!
