Happy
Frame (PSP 7, 8, 9 & 10 - no
filters) A tutorial by Mar ©2003

You need this gold pattern and an
image.

Save as MD-Goud-1.bmp in your
folder 'Patterns' in PSP. You also can copy and paste in
PSP.
Save
often. Let's get started. Good
luck.....
1. Open an image. I used
this one below. If you like to use it, copy and paste in
PSP.
 Artist:
unknown.
2. Background color, use a light color
in your image. I used #F7E88D. Background color to
MD-Goud-1.bmp.
3. Image > Add borders > 5 Pixels symmetric > White.

4. With your wand select the
white border.
Fill with the gold
pattern.
5. Image > Add borders > 25 Pixels symmetric > White. Confirm merging.
6. Select your border and fill
with #F7E88D.
7. Effects > Distortion >
Ripple > Black.

8. Effects > Edge > Enhance
more.
9. Effects > 3D effects >
Inner bevel.
10. The next step is different for each
image. To decide on the color of your border, click the color
box. You will see a color picker. Click with the picker on
your image, till you have a color you like. By clicking the
eyes, you can see what you're doing. I used
#B09685.
11. Image > Add borders > 5 Pixels.
Select your border and fill with
the gold pattern.
12. Add another border, 5 pixels, fill
with black.
13. Image > Add borders > 25 Pixels. Select and fill with
#F7E88D.
14. Effects > Distortion > Ripple > Black. Repeat Edge > Enhance more and the same inner
bevel.
15. Keep the selection. Image
> Mirror.
Image > Flip.
16. Image > Add borders > 5 Pixels.
Select and fill with gold pattern.
17. Again a border 5 pixels, fill with
black.
Well done. Your Happy Frame
is finished. If you think your frame is very big, by adding
all those borders, resize 80%. (Image > Resize 80% check
all layers).
I hope you liked this one.
