Kind of reminds me of cotton candy and sugar. Anyways keep doing several different radial swipes and maybe a few diamond ones (or all diamond). You can get this actual .psd file from the iPSD Directory or with my Photoshop Design training.
Now go ahead and Desaturate again under Image:
Adjustments. You can also press Shift Ctrl U (Shift Cmd U). This
takes out our cotton candy coloring (essentially it doesn't matter
what color gradient you're going to pick if you're going to
desaturate it but you can enjoy the thoughts of cotton candy for a
minute).
Now bring up a color fill layer either by creating a new layer and
filling it with your color or from the pop up menu at the very top
Solid Color as fill and then choose your color (here a red).
Create some appropriate text with white as the foreground color. Here I'm using my centering technique...link the text layer to the background layer; select the background layer in the layers palette, click on the moVe tool and then choose 'align horizontal centers' as shown. You can then unlink the layers. This will center the text (or other layers) off of perfect center.
Bring back the work that we did earlier in the tutorial and put it into a layer set. Now you can try out some different blending modes. In Photoshop, it's all about 'options' (like in dating??). Color burn creates a really nice rich artsy effect. It's up to you to develop your eye to determine what you think works best. This exact tutorial has never been done before and when start creating your own version it will also have never been done before. This bed of liquid roses looks kind of gothic. Those almost looks like skulls in there..hmm...

Here's a different effect which could look like different things to many people. A crowd of people sleeping at a eurail depot?
