After you have your Plugin and Mask installed we can begin
1. Open your Graphic

4. Adjust/Sharpness/Sharpen
5. Shift +D Twice to Duplicate your graphic two times
6. Close out your Original Graphic
7. Minimize one copy for now
8. Choose a main color from your graphic (One that you would like to use as your stationery's background color) and set it as your foreground color. Also choose another color from your graphic (Preferably a darker color) and set it as your background color...
9. Image/Resize and resize at 60% (Make sure ReSample using Smart Size, Lock Aspect Ratio, and Resize all layers are checked

Your Background is done, now let's make your Frame Header
1. Bring up the other copy of your graphic you had minimized
2. Image/ Add a 15 pixel border color not in your graphic (I used white)

11. Selections/Promote Selection To Layer
12. Selections/Select None
