The Process
I clipped my photo to a Watercolor FotoBlendz mask (recolored light blue), duplicated my photo and changed the blending mode to hard light and duplicated the photo again and applied a gaussian blur filter (reduced opacity). I added the frames and support elements. For the bottom frame I wanted a darker look, so using the selective tool in the adjustment menu, I increased the neutral tones to the dark side. Again I duplicated my photo and placed it behind the framed photo, applied a layer mask and used a soft brush and hid the edges of the photo. Word art, strokes, overlays and stitches were added.
