Open the image you're going to use and duplicate it twice by clicking on Ctrl D and then close the original image. If you're going to use the picture that I used, then you will need to resize it. This can be achieved by going to Format/Dimensions and then alter the dimensions to 384 pixels width and 288 pixels height.

Note: This weaved frame effect we're going to achieve will not look so good if you're using a dark image.

We're going to be using both copies to achieve our finished result and throughout the tutorial I shall be referring to them as "copy 1" (which will produce the finished image) and "copy 2" (which is the one we will be taking parts from as required).

On copy 1 we need to apply an Eye Candy weave effect, so go to Effects/Eye Candy/Weave and apply these settings: Ribbon Width 20; Gap Width 0; Shadow Depth 100; Thread Detail 100; Thread Length 25.

Using copy 2, Click on the Path Drawing Tool and with an Ellipse Shape and the Mode set as Selection, draw an oval with a width of approximately 300 pixels and a height of about 225 pixels. As you're drawing this selection, you need to keep an eye on lower left hand side of the taskbar to get the correct size.

Note: Should your oval shape not be central enough for your liking then click on the Path Edit Tool, then on the Toggle button and drag your selection more towards the center.

Right click and Convert to Object. Drag your object onto copy 1 and carefully position it in it's exact place. Copy 1 should now look similar to the image on the left here.

Click on Web/Button Designer/Any Shape. Click on the Bevel Tab and apply the settings you see in the image on the left here, being sure that you have checked the "outer" box before clicking on OK. You should now have a framed look about your image but it's a little dark, so you need to click on the + of the brightness button 4 times.

Using copy 2 and the Lasso Tool, with a Sensitivity of 1 and a Soft edge of 1, carefully click around the flower you want to be showing out of the frame.

Note: You won't need all the flower.

When you're satisfied you have clicked around enough of it, double click on your starting point to create a selection. Right click and Convert to Object. Drag this selection from copy 2 onto the canvas of copy 1 and carefully position it into it's exact place.

Do this last step again for any other section you would like to see coming out of your frame.

All there's left to do is to right click, Merge All and then save your finished picture.

Give yourself a pat on the back...you've just created something really beautiful!
