top layer new raster layer select all and pick a color from tag that will make a good frame, select all flood fill with that color, selections contract by 2 hit delete on keyboard, selections invert, add inner bevel (your choice)

select none add a thin gradient glow with the same color as your frame, layers duplicate, go to original frame adjust blur gaussian blur at 8 or whatever looks good to you

go to copy of frame adjust add noise 50% uniform, monochrome checked then add noise only check random merge down

i went to the background layer and added some sparkle to it, i used the sparkle 3 ele

i also while on background i c&p my tube and used the blend luminance legacy and brought the properties down to about 31-35 (optional though)

go to top layer, add your copyrights, license info, designer credit & your own taggers watermark. merge all flatten save as jpg

i used a fat white gradient glow on the copyrights also but lowered the opacity of it to 70 then also used a color in it

thats it! thanks for trying my tutorial! i hope you enjoyed this tutorial and it was easy to follow
