A really enjoyable challenge with plenty of scope for layer blending and filters, which I used liberally.
I duplicated the 'lady' layer, added a radial gradient overlay which I inverted, and gave it a hard mix blend.
At this point I flattened the layers and added a 'paint daub' filter.
The frame I also duplicated and then used a hard mix blend to get the coppery colour.
Thank you for the lovely image of the lady. The gold frame was courtesy of Numbumm.
