This tutorial is a lot like my Gold-Glitter Frame,
but I just loved the results so had to write it down.
Click here for the tutorial to fade the
image into the background. For this tutorial you will
need Blade Pro, the Gold-Glitter preset, an image
of your choice, the Fadededge Mask, Paint Engine,
Filter Factory A, and a Sparkle tube.

Right click and Save as and save it to your hard drive.
You can also use my background texture if you like.
I used Paint Engine with the following settings.

After fading your image into the background your image
should look like this.

Next add a border of 12 using the color you used to fade your
image with. I used color #AFAF99. Select the border with
the Magic Wand, Tolerance 0, Feather 0, Match Mode RGB.
Flood will the border using a darker contrasting color with
a texture of your choice. I used color #696B55 and the foil
texture with the following settings. Selections/Select All.

Now apply a Cutout effect using the following settings.

Apply another Cutout with these settings. Selections/Select None.

Now add a white border of 2 pixels. Select the border with your
Magic Wand, Tolerance 0, Feather 0, Match Mode RGB.
Apply the Gold-Glitter preset, then apply the Filter Factory A
Pool Shadow. Selections/Select None.

Next add a border of 20. Select the border with your
Magic Wand, Tolerance 0, Feather 0, Match Mode RGB.

Next I colorized my background texture I used for
fading my background using these settings.

Now Flood Fill the border using the textured
background. Selections/Select None.

Next add a white border of 2 pixels. Select the border
with your Magic Wand, Tolerance 0, Feather 0, Match
Mode RGB. Apply the Gold-Glitter preset followed
by the Filter Factory A Pool Shadow. Selections/
Select None. Now add your Sparkle tube to accent
your image. Last of all apply a Filter Factory A
Spotlight with the following settings.

This is your final image!
