Technique Used - for Designers and Scrappers: Selection, Gradient Fill, Wave and Blending
By Papierstudio Silke

1. - Open any paper 3600x3600- 300 dpi
2. - create a new layer
3. - set foreground color to a light gray like this here #e9ebee
4. - set the background color to a dark gray like here: #949494
5. - pick the round selection tool and set the feather to 250
6. - create a big circle in the new layer with the selection tool


8. - fill the selection with the gradient (center your mouse and drag diagonally to the lower edge)


Distort
I find that this is too regular for a lightning gradient overlay, so let's make it a little bit irregular:
10. - go to filter > wave this gradient in order to distort a little bit this round area.

Type - Sine is marked.
Number of generations: 1
Wavelenght: 556 - 561
Amplitude 94 - 318
Scale 100%
- Repeat Edge Pixels is marked

11. Now set this layer to a bigger size: 140% - select the layer, hit ctrl + T and set Width and High to 140% (or something like this - play with this setting)
Layer Blending:
12. set this layer to OVERLAY and change the opacity slider to about 63%



Happy Scrapping
