If you are using the gold fill, you'll want to play around with your settings to get the effect you want.


Apply a drop shadow to your text.

Now is the time to add your embellishments.
Copy and paste them onto your project.
You can do it on their own layers or....
after you have placed one on as a new layer, you can add the rest as a new selection.
That way,all your embellishments will be on one layer.
I have added a rose.
Rename that layer and apply a drop shadow.
The settings I used are V + H = -4 ~~ Opac @ 55, Blur @ 3.00 Color black.
