Walkthrough

1_. Open a new transparent image of 750 x 500 px.

2_. Fill with a solid color.

3_. Layers → New Raster Layer.

4_. Selections → Load/Save Selection → Load Selection From Disk: art_vidade_selection_01.

Fill the selected parts with the color of your choice. Mine looked like this:

5_. Selections → Modify → Select Selection Borders, as shown below:

6_. Selections → Invert and press the Delete key.

Selections → Select None.

7_. Choose an image and apply Edit → Copy to it.

8_. Select the inside of all the rectangles: hold down the Shift key and select the parts of the selection one by one.

9_. Edit → Paste Into Selection.

Effects → 3D Effects → Inner Bevel.

Selections → Invert and apply Effects → 3D Effects → Drop Shadow: 0 / 0 / 100 / 80.

Selections → Select None.

10_. Layers → New Raster Layer.

11_. Selections → Load/Save Selection → Load Selection From Disk: art_vidade_selection_02.

12_. Fill with a gradient of your choice. I applied this one:

13_. Effects → Texture Effects → Texture: 8SUIZA, with the settings below:

14_. Layers → Properties → Opacity: 65%.

15_. Layers → Properties → Blend Mode: Soft Light.

16_. Effects → Edge Effects → Enhance.

Selections → Select None.

17_. Image → Add Borders → Symmetric checked:

1 px - black color

45 px - color of your choice

18_. Select this border with the Magic Wand tool and apply the same gradient.

19_. Effects → Plugins → Filters Unlimited 2.0 → Buttons & Frames → Gradient Frame: double-click and another window will open.

I chose the Copper preset with these settings: Frame Size 29 / Gradient Offset 27.

20_. Still selected: Selections → Modify → Select Selection Borders, as in step 5.

Select the smaller selection, inside the frame, and fill with a light, solid color.

Effects → Edge Effects → Enhance More.

Selections → Select None.

21_. Layers → New Raster Layer.

22_. Layers → Load/Save Mask → Load Mask From Disk: art_vidade_masks_01.

Layers → Merge → Merge Group.

Effects → 3D Effects → Drop Shadow: 1 / 1 / 100 / 3.

23_. Apply a decor of your choice.

24_. I applied Effects → Distortion Effects → Twirl to the decor but, depending on your decor, you can use other effects.

25_. I duplicated it and applied Image → Flip; I duplicated again and applied Image → Mirror.

26_. Sign your work.

27_. Save as JPG.

 

 

In this tag, with the layers still open, I went back to the back layer and applied the Perspective Horizontal effect

a different decor with effects from the tool
