Adjust - Hue & Saturation - Colorize
(If you can't get this preset, you may use another similar filter
I can recommend Sabercat's BarCode filter)
*If you haven't used black and white, find the hue and saturation of the color you have used and use those figures instead of the ones shown*
Effects - 3D Effects - Inner Bevel Using the same settings as in Step 10 - apply twice Select none
15. Add 2px border - select with magic wand Flood fill with background color Select none

18. Add 30px border - select with magic wand Effects - Plugins - Super Blade Pro - nk-whiteandblack
(If you can't get this preset, you may use another similar filter
I did first Birgit's Chaos - Black White Stripes and then also Two Moons - Swirler
It didn't make the same pattern, but it's nice enough)
Effects - 3D Effects - Inner Bevel. Using the same settings as in Step 10 - apply twice
Add corners to your frame - or leave it without. I think it looks nice either way *S*
