Process: I started with the background. Put my picture in the mask, and duplicated my picture and set the blendmodus on soft light. I made a frame over the photo by selecting a circle and filling it with 10 pixels and gave it a little shadow. Then i placed a element and wordart.

Thanks for looking !
