and using the supplied html code.
I chose a photo of Khira, my niece, for the main image.
If you would like to see the Digital Layouts I have done on Khira you will find them at my main site,
Serendipity Designs.
TILES
To make the patterned background I applied various filters to a section of the photo to turn it into splotchy colours. I then applied brush effects, a texture and layer modes to give me a dark and light tile.
The gradient was made with a green and yellow selected from Khira's hat. After adding noise I applied a texture to give a raised tile effect. I saved it in two different sizes.
The plain tile is a complimentary colour to which a light texture was applied.
DIVIDER
The base of the divider was a dingbat filled with the background tile and bevelled. I selected and edited a copy of the sunflower on the hat and applied to the centre.
LINKS
The links were made from the font PC Knobbish using the same process as the divider.
