A tutorial by Mar © 2005.

What you need:
PSP. Download a 30 day trial here.
The materials: Download here.
Open all images from the ZIP in PSP.
The Ormente filter: Download here.
Create a folder Ormente in your plugins folder in PSP and extract
all 3 Zip's in it. Close end  restart PSP otherwise your filter won't work.

Save often.
Let's go. Good luck.....

Open the MD-Roses.jpg in PSP.
Shift D to duplicate. Close the original.

Image > Add borders > 2 Pixels > Symmetric > Color yellow.

Select  (feather 0 - tolerance 20) the yellow border.

First we have to set our filling tool.

Foreground to black and background to #aa0c05.
Put your background to gradient.
Look for the Foreground-background gradient.

Now put your foreground to pattern and look for the MD-Gold-2.

Your menu looks like this:

Fill the selection with the gold.

Effects > 3D effects > Drop shadow > Color black.

Again drop shadow but this time Vert. and Horiz. to - 2.

Image > Add borders > 20 Pixels > Symmetric > Color yellow.

Select  (feather 0 - tolerance 20) the yellow border.

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

Effects > Plugins > Ormente's Filters > Miropads.


Image > Add borders > 2 Pixels > Symmetric > Color yellow.

Select  the yellow border.

Fill your selection with the gold pattern.

Repeat drop shadow at 2 and - 2.

Image > Add borders > 30 Pixels > Symmetric > Color yellow.

Select  the yellow border and fill with the gradient.

Effects > Texture effects > Mosaic tiles > Hexagon > Red #ff0000.

Image > Add borders > 2 Pixels > Symmetric > Color yellow.

Select  the yellow border.

Fill your selection with the gold pattern.

Repeat drop shadow at 2 and - 2.

Image > Add borders > 20 Pixels > Symmetric > Color yellow.

Select  the yellow border.

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

Repeat the Ormente's Filters > Miropads like before.

Image > Add borders > 2 Pixels > Symmetric > Color yellow.

Select  the yellow border.

Fill your selection with the gold pattern.

Repeat drop shadow at 2 and - 2.

Open the MD-WR-corner.psp and copy.

Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.

Move the corner on the middle border (see screenshot).

Layers > Duplicate.
Image > Mirror.
Layers > Duplicate.
Image > Flip.
Layers > Duplicate.
Image > Mirror.

I reduced the size of my frame with 89%.

Image > Change size > 89% > All layers checked.
The new size will be 415 X 450.

Layers > Merge > Merge all layers flatten.

If you like you can add a gold text. I added two nice fonts in the ZIP.
