*Add a new raster layer.*

Using your pre-set shapes tool, hold the "Shift" key down and draw a circle in this layer the same color you drew your rays with. Copy/Paste it to center it then delete the layer you drew your first circle in. Apply the pastel sponge filter to the circle. You may also want to change the brightness/contrast on this layer to the same lighter color you used for some of your rays.

*Add a new raster layer.*

Load the wompiesunface selection to this layer. ("Selections"..."Load from Disk"..."wompiesunface"..."OK") Flood fill with black. De-select. ("Ctrl"..."D") Position the face, and reduce the size of the layer that has the circle in it, if necessary. ("Image"..."Resize"..."Resize all layers" UN-checked) I resized my circle layer by 90%.

Apply a cut out to this new layer ("Effects"..."3-D Effects"..."Cutout") Offset Vertical and Horizontal "-1", Opacity "25", Blur "5", Fill interior with color UN-checked.


Now apply another cutout using the same settings, except change your vertical and horizontal offset to "1." De-select. ("Ctrl"..."D")

If you want to add a contrasting colored medallion behind your sun face, simply activate layer 1 in your layer palette, hold the shift key down to draw a circle with the color you choose, copy/paste as a new layer to center it, delete the original circle, then apply the same pastel sponge preset to it that you used on the rest of your image.
