Spiky Halo Frame

Open a picture of your choice.
I have chosen for artwork of Josephine Wall,
please take a look at her site.
Set your foregroundcolor on #BDC0EB and
your backgroundcolor on #5A68A7.
Image > add borders:

Change you foregroundcolor and backgroundcolor.

Image > add borders
10, symmetric
Change your foregroundcolor and backgroundcolor again.
Image > add borders
20, symmetric
Change your foregroundcolor and backgroundcolor again.
Image > Add borders.
20, symmetric.
Change your foregroundcolor and backgroundcolor again.
Image > add borders

This is what you should have now:

Select with you magicwand a dark colored border,
push your shift-button, keep it pushed and then click in the
other dark colored borders.
Effects > Geometric effects > Spiky halo:

Effects > 3D effects > innerbevel:

Selections > select none.
Select with your magicwand a light colored border,
push your shift-button, keep it pushed and then click in the
other light colored border. They are now selected both.
Effects > noise > add:

Keep the selections.
Effects > 3D effects > dropshadow:
colorr: zwart.

Repeat the dropshadow with horizontal and vertical on -2.
Selections > select none.
For the corners I used a dingbat Design Dings and the small R.
You can use different dingbats, choose the nicest and play around with it.
Image > change size, in the size you want it to be.

With this one I used also the Dingbat Design Dings with the small letter M.
Have fun with this lesson.
