Eye Candy

Supplies

1. Open up your image and add a 2px border. select and fill with the gold pattern

2. Add a 1px black border

3. Using a darkish colour from your image add a 10px border - I used #C57048

4. Keep selected and apply Screenworks Canvas Mesh

5. While still selected apply Bordermania Frame 2 changing the top two settings to 10

6. Select none

7. Have your foreground colour set to the same colour you picked in step 3 then set your background colour to a lighter version of this (my lighter colour was #EBBF9A) now click on the Material box and change it to Gradient - find the "foreground/background" gradient and set the angle to 45 and the repeat to 1

8. Add a 10px border, select and fill with your gradient

9. Keep selected and apply Bordermania Frame 2 using the same settings as before

10. Add a 1px black border

11. Add a 2px border, select and fill with the gold pattern

12. Add a 25px border ---> select and fill with your foreground/background gradient

13. Keep selected and apply Filters Unlimited 2 Buttons & Frames - Glass Frame 2 at the default settings

14. Select none

15. Add a 2px border - select and fill with the gold pattern

16. Add a 30px border - select and fill with the gradient

17. Keep selected and apply Eye Candy - Squint - now the setting will depend on your graphic, I used a tube and made my own background so there was a lot of orange/reddish brown and the Squint filter pulled this to the border, my setting was 150 but if this pulls to much colour from your graphic try a different setting, the second frame I made below using the same colours pulled way to much colour with it set on 150 so I had to change the setting to 100 for that one, have a play around to see what you like best

18. While still selected apply the following Inner Bevel

19. Select none

Apply the corner provided to each corner then merge all layers....

And your all done !

Hope you enjoyed this one...
