step 4 of 7

now,creating the frames -

it involved lots of trial and error,

but i will break it down :

1. first,u have to create the color, so simply fill a rectangle with some old orange..then filter fibres..this simply gives that old frame look !

2. next, create smaller rectangles, fill it wtih the same color and add a bevel and emboss and gradient overlay with reduced opacity and place them inside the bigger rectangle..

now, what you have is a big rectangle (filled with orange and fibres) and on it you ahve smaller rectanlges (of the same length) with bevel and emboss and gradient overlay.

3. Once u get this, then its simple, just duplicate thsi rectangle to form the four sides of the frame, play around with flip horizontal..so that u have some difference...

its basically trial and error..however u can find many tutorials available online for making frames...

the filter ->artistic and fiddle with those effects,

i also added some hue and saturation..

wanted to give a sepia touch, but then thought this was fine
