A tutorial by Mar © 2006

What you need:
Corel PSP. Download a 30 day trial here.
The materials: Download here.
Open all images from the ZIP in PSP.

Save often.
Let's g
et started. Good luck.....

You can make this frame as Portrait or as Landscape.
Look at the images in the ZIP to see what you want to make.
After you decided what flowers to use, adjust your frame.
For Portrait:

1. Open a new image 400 X 450 > Transparent.
For Landscape:

Open a new image 450 X 400 > Transparent.

2. Foreground to #ffefd4.
Background to #f3cca1.

Foreground to gradient.
Look for the "Fore-background" gradient.
Texture unchecked (bleu hand).


Now put your background to pattern and find the MD-Rosewood.jpg.
Texture unchecked (bleu hand).

Your fill menu has to look like this:

2. Fill your image with the gradient.
Adjust > Blur > Gaussian blur:

3. Layers > New raster layer.
Fill this layer with your right mouse button (the rosewood).

4. Selections > Select all.
Selections > Modify > Contract with 20 pixels.

Click delete to remove the center part.

5. Selections > Invert.
Effects > 3D-effects > Inner bevel > Color white.

6. Selections > Invert.
Layers > Merge > Merge visible layers.

7. Open the MD-Overlay-Long.psp ( for a portrait frame) and copy.
Edit > Paste > Paste into selection.

8. Selections > Modify > Contract with 40 pixels.

If all went well you must have this now:

Fill the selection with your right mouse button (the rosewood).

10. Selections > Modify > Contract with 20 pixels.
Click delete to remove the center part.

11. Selections > Select all.

Repeat the inner bevel like before.
