Deselect Lock the layer transparency by clicking the icon that looks like a pad lock. see image below.

Click on the cutout using these settings. Vertical and horizontal 0, opacity 75, blur 50, color #7B899D. By locking the transparency of the layer you don't have to add an new layer for the cutout.

3. Add new layer. Open selection 02 dress, flood fill with white, then flood fill over it with 7C8DAB. Lock transparency as before, apply same cutout but change color to 44505E. Load selection 02 dress again, add new layer apply (do not lock transparency) apply drop shadow using these settings. Vertical and horizontal 0, opacity 100, blur 25, color #44505E.

Sharpen This will be our trim layer. We will come back to it in a bit. Click back on the wing layer, gaussian blur 2, apply eye candy jiggle effect using these settings.

That makes a nice feathery look. But we want it a little smother. So take your retouch tool use these settings. Smudge, size 75, hardness 50, opacity 50, step 1 and density 39. Now just pull out just a little then back in a bit. All we want to do here is smear it just a bit.

13. Now we will go back to the trim layer. Use the magic wand click on center of trim. Go to selections/modify/expand by 2. Add new layer. Use the air brush tool apply some blue colors to this layer using these settings. Size 100, hardness 39, opacity 35, step 25 and density 39. Add a few sprays of each color you choose. Gaussian blur 2. Now use the eye candy fur settings as below. Or play with your own settings.

Lower the opacity to around 50. Move this layer below the trim layer. Merge visible the 3 wing layers. Copy and paste mirror image. Line up to other side of angel,
