Cool abstract background

Use the last tool to create the next layer belonging to the same earlier made bubble. 
The layer’s parameters: Fill 0%
Blending Options>Gradient Overlay 
Gradient’s parameters: 
Make a mouse click on the same layer on Add a mask option situated on the bottom part of the layers’ palette and use simultaneously the Brush Tool (B) of black color to erase easily a part of the bubble’s surface. 
Using the Ellipse Tool (U), try to make another highlight on the bubble’s surface. 
The layer’s parameters: Fill 0%
Blending Options>Gradient Overlay 
Gradient’s parameters: 
Next we need to combine in a group all the layers composing the circle (press Ctrl button to mark out the corresponding layers and then hold on the left mouse’s button while moving the marked layers on Create a new group selection). Make many copies of this last made group and select again the Free Transform option to change the copies’ sizes and place them on the picture the same way demonstrated below. 
The picture is finished!

You’ve forgotten/skipped some important steps; you should really review this tutorial and fix it.

I am also having the same issue as george. I cannot figure out how to apply the effects to the object I just created with the pen.

I just wanted to tell you that your art work is AMAZING. I was literally struggling trying to figure out how to do a wavy background for my future web site. I learned AP on my own, so I have a lot of gaps to fill in still and I have to be honest I spent quite some time trying to follow your tutorials. However I never gave up and MADE it.
I am soooo glad I found your tutorials.Thank you for sharing your skills with us!

For people having trouble with step #2, all you have to do, is in the layers pallet, where all the layers are (1 at the moment) u have to unlock it, by double clicking it, and renaming it, then in the same place you now can change options, put fill to 0% and so on. hope that helped

For those of you struggling with the pentool part. Simply fill the path with some random color..then follow the steps further by setting fill to 0 etc…

I loved the tutorial.I don’t have the hang of using the pen tool yet so my lines were thicker than yours but I will continue to practice with it.One thing the example had these bubbles as well.How do you do those?Is it in another tutorial?
