Kind of looks like brocade boards to me.

It's one background paper with a subtle design - (paper: created by jill),
duplicate 5 times

From the bottom up --
First layer is whole
Second layer is squished down a bit
Third layer, more squishing,
etc...

"squishing" makes each 'board' look a little different

I have not cut the paper to size, I used the move tool and pushed down on the top arrow to squish the paper.

See the layers panel

Layer Style added for definition between 'boards'

I like the offset framing and how you picked up the colour for the frame from your photo. Look forward to seeing how you progress your page.

I have a lot of layouts with offset framing. For some reason, it appeals to me.

To do offset framing, make sure your outline is on its own layer.

Control/Command click on the thumbnail in your layers panel to get a selection
Open a new layer above the photo and
Edit> Stoke/Outline your selection on this new layer - choosing color and width from the screen that pops up when you choose this option.

Now this outline can be moved anywhere on your project, plus you can change/delete it any time - without affecting your photo.

Outlining on your photo layer permanently changes the photo - there's no going back
