Here you can see what we are going to create.

Step 1: Make a gradient background.
Use black and very dark gray and fill the background with the gradient tool. Set it on radial gradient.

Step 2: Make a new layer.
layer>new>layer
Make a circle with the elliptical marquee tool + shift.
Fill it with orange with the paint bucket tool.

Step 3: Make a new layer.
Make a smaller circle and move it with the arrow keys to put it in the middle of the bigger circle.

Step 4: Click on layer one and erase everything in the dotted circle with the erase tool. (or cut it)

Step 5: Click on layer 2.
Make a circle close to the big circle. Move it to the middle like you did in step 4.

Step 6: Don’t click anything so the dotted line will remain. Make a second circle close to the smallest circle.

(to do this hold Alt key then hold Shift key and draw the circle)Now you have two dotted lines.

Step 7: Erase everything between the dotted lines with the eraser. (or cut it)

Step 8: Make a new layer.
Use the Custom Shape Tool to draw a figure between the lines. I used Fleur-De- Lis, and go to Layers Pellet then go to Paths & select the option (Load path as a selection) which is bottom of the pellet.then fill it with any color.
Copy/paste it and rotate (edit>transform>rotate) it till it fits between the lines.
Now copy/paste the two figures and rotate. Repeat this till the circle is filled.

Step 9: The border is almost finished.

Step 10: Remove the background from the portrait and paste it on the new background.

Step 11: Put the girl layer under the circle layer.

Step 12: Erase the parts outside the border. Copy the layer of the girl.

Step 13: The first layer:
Put black in the foreground box and orange in the background box.
filter>sketch>photocopy.
Set the “detail” arrow to the right and the “darkness” arrow to the left.

Step 14: The second layer:
Set to blending mode “luminosity” in the layer window.

Step 15: girl layer 2:
filter>artistic>poster edges
set the edge intensity to 0(zero).

Step 16: Erase the light parts of girl layer 2, till only the dark lines remain.

Step 17: All that is left from girl layer 2 are the dark lines.

Step 18: Change the levels to make the lines darker.
layer>new adjustment layer>levels

Step 19: Make a new layer.
Use the brush tool to paint the hair black.

Step 20: Paint all the lines black with the brush tool and make an orange line around the hair.

Step 21: Make a new layer. Paint leaves in her hair.

Step 22: Flatten image. (layer>)
Duplicate the layer
layer>duplicate layer
filter>artistic>plastic wrap & click to ok.
Then go to Edit>fade plastic wrap &  Set to 60%.

Step 23: Erase most of the plastic wrap layer, only leave a few highlights.

Step 24: Flatten image.
Duplicate layer.
Set the colors to orange and black.
filter>render>clouds

Step 25: Set the clouds layer to 15% in the layer window.

Step 26: Flatten image.
Set the background color box to white.

filter>distort>diffuse glow & click ok.
Then go to Edit>fade diffuse glow & Set to 15%

Step 27: Look for a light, cracked structure.
& Set it to ‘multiply’ in layers pellet.

Here’s my original image:

And here, after applying all these steps.

Have a Fun!
