A Royal Text Effect

I came across this text effect at psd.tutsplus.com. I thought it presented as very regal. I was reminded of the various techniques available to achieve a certain look. The name of the font is Xenippa which they obtained from dafont.com. In the tutorial they also had a link to a website that provides a variety of useful patterns. That blog is called webtreats ETC. The blog also has links to other PhotoShop resources, Icon's, Textures.

At any rate I am always pleased when a tutorial works as intended. I only found one error and it may have been due to a difference in PhotoShop versions.
