Tinsel Picture

Get to represent the flare. First we need to picture a figure with Rounded Rectangular Tool, which half must be erased. The rest of it must be distorted with Edit – Transform – Perspective.



Copy the new layer (ctrl+j) and turn it around horizontally: Edit – Transform – Flip Horizontal. Combine these layers after that (ctrl+e), make a copy after that and turn it around with next selection: Edit – Transform - 90? CW.



Merge down the flares' parts (ctrl+e) and make a copy of the layer (ctrl+j). Minimize the copy and turn it around (ctrl+t).Represent then a circle in the middle of the star on a new layer. You have to use for this the Ellipse Tool (you'll get an equal circle by keeping pressed the Shift button).



Blur out the circle (Gaussian Blur) and merge the flares' parts. The new layer must be copied and the copy blurred out.



Combine again the flares' parts. Then copy many times the layer and change the size of the copies and placement's angle (ctrl+t). Place the flares on the ornaments. To make the brilliance more intensive, we have to merge down all the layers containing the flares (ctrl+e). Copy the new layer and blur out the copy (Gaussian Blur).



Choose now the picture of a pretentious frame.



Erase its background and place the frame above the wall's layer. Correct its color with Hue/Saturation (ctrl+u).



On the layer, under the frame, must be inserted an old picture.



Correct its color (ctrl+u).



Add after that the frame's Drop Shadow in the Blending Options menu…
