Supplies

PLEASE NOTE

The gradient I've used in this tutorial will come up showing the colours you have as your foreground and background colours, so make sure you set these to the colours you want your frame to be... 

1. Open up your image and add a 2px white border - select and apply Ulead Art Texture Gold  (press on edit and select palette 5)

2. Keep selected - Invert and apply the following cut-out

3. Add a 2px black border

4. Add a 5px white border - select and apply Ulead Art Texture Gold preset - keep selected and apply NRV Bordermania Frame 2 changing the top two settings to 5

5. Add a 1px black border

6.  Add a 25px border - select and fill with the bluebell gradient (Angle & Repeats both set to zero) - keep selected - Effects - Texture Effects - Soft Plastic at the following settings - apply this twice

NOTE: you may want use another gradient or even your foreground/background gradient, this is fine but you will get a different effect which I think is just as nice, if you choose to go your own way only apply the soft plastic once..

7. Add a 1px black border

8. Add a 15px border - select and fill with your gradient only this time tick the Invert box so that your colours are flipped - apply the following Inner Bevel

9. Add a 1px black border

10. Add a 2px border - select and apply Ulead Art Texture Gold

11. Add a 30px black border, select - add a new raster layer - Layers - Load/Save Masks - load mask from disk - find and apply the 125kris mask

12. Highlight your Raster 1 layer on your layer palette and flood fill this layer with your gradient, make sure the Invert box is unchecked - Layers - Merge - Merge all - select none

13. Add a 5px white border - select and fill with Ulead Art Texture Gold - keep selected and apply NRV Bordermania Frame 2 using the same settings as previously

14. Open up the diamond pattern and apply to each corner
