These borders were really fun to try because for the most part I had never played with any of them before. For the first image I used a flexible brushed-on effect using Thick, Heavy Brushes in Adobe Photoshop to paint back the image from a white background. For this one I used many different opacities with the brushes to leave the image with more white background showing through. For Red Berries I added a flexible vignette using a new black layer and adding a white stoke around my border. This is flexible because if I decide later I actually want the border larger, I can go back to my psd document and adjust the size. For my last border, Antique I did a similar brushed on effect, but it was not flexible. This is a disadvantage because I can no longer go back to my psd document and make changes. I would have to start over.
