Help! Forgot how I created this border

[Phinny]

I created this border randomly a few months ago quite by accident.  Now, I like it very much and wish to border another image in the same manner.  Unfortunately I flattened this image before saving so no history at this point.  Can any of the experts in here see what I might have done to achieve this?

My question is regarding Photoshop Elements 2019

Moved to the Photoshop Elements forum.

Try using one of the wet media brushes around the edges of the portrait and then add a stroke, playing with the blending mode.

Definitly not the trick I used but I like your idea a lot, very interesting and useful thank you!
