Recipe with 3 Ingredients!

You don’t have to have heaps of elements etc to make something interesting – this is made with just 3 elements – a misted tube, a lady, and a gradient.

If you don’t have the ES vintage gradients – I have attached the 4 mentioned below.

1. Take a gradient - any ES Vintage 63-66 or similar will do.

 

Angle=45: repeats=5 and you get this

 

2. Flood-fill an image 800 x 600 with the gradient.

3. Geometric Effects/Circle with "wrap" setting and you get this

 

4. Now it's up to you what you do with it. I put a misted castle interior on another layer and erased the edges to fit the centre of the pattern.

5. Then added the girl.

6. I copied a thin sliver of the top edge of the pattern and made the border with it, but you could put a plain gold border.

7. The rest of the frame is easy to work out.

Hope you try it and have fun.
