Step 1

Open Animation Shop and activate the Propogate Paste Button.

It looks like this:

I am using the image from my "How To Create A Brush Tutorial".



Step 2
Click on Image--> Add Borders--> about 5 inches
Choose a color that is not in your graphic.
If you choose a color that IS in your graphic, the Magic Wand will include that,
along with your border.

Using your Magic Wand click Inside your border.



Step 3
To fill this border you can use a solid color, a pattern or even glitter.
You can also use a gold or silver pattern.

Snag the Silver Pattern Here
Snag the Gold Pattern Here

Place the color or pattern in your Foreground.



Click on your Flood Fill Tool it looks like this:

and fill the selected border.

This is what my border looks like using the silver pattern.



Keep the border selected.

Step 4
In your Layer Palette, right click on your Background layer
and choose Promote Background Layer.
Right Click again and Choose Duplicate. Do this twice.



You should now have 3 Layers.
