Step 16
Right-click and select Make selection... Now you should see a "marching ants" selection. Grab the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M), right-click and select Layer Via Cut. Double-click the newly created layer's name and rename it to "skin".
Step 17
Go to Layer > Duplicate Layer (CTRL+D) and turn off the visibility of the "skin" layer.
Step 18
Go to the Layers palette (F7) and create a new layer group. Name it "flowers".
Step 19
Open the "designious floral pack" either in Illustrator if you have, or in Photoshop, the file is compatible. Copy it, paste it in our drawing and place it like below. Place this layer in the "flowers" layer group.
Step 20
CTRL+click the flower's layer thumbnail in the Layers palette (F7) to load a selection. Select the "skin copy" layer, grab the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M), right-click and select "Layer Via Copy". Then click-drag this layer above the layer with the flower.
Step 21
Select the layer with the flowers and use the settings below.
Step 22
Add more flowers like in steps below. You'll get a nice overlapping effect.
Step 23
Select the "flowers" layer group and go to Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All. Select the layer mask, press D to set pure black as Foreground color and paint over the extra flowers that bypass the skin contour.
Step 24
Select the "skin copy" layer and go to Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All. Select the mask and paint over the entire skin, except for the face. As a small detail, use a small brush to mask the skin using a flower as guide.
Step 25
Create a new layer group above the "background" layer. Name it "background flowers". Go to the "designious flowers" file, copy and paste more flowers into our document. Place them like below.
I've loaded a selection, so you can see them better.
Step 26
Click-drag this layer group onto the "New Layer" button to copy it. Then press CTRL+T to enter Free Transform mode and make it smaller. Hit Enter.
Step 27
Create a new layer group and name it "text". Grab the Horizontal Type Tool (L), create a large type box and write a text of your choice. I wrote "designious". Use a midtone gray (#a4a4a4) and Ubuntu font.
Step 28
Go back to the "designious flowers" document, copy a flower and paste it in the layer group. Resize it (CTRL+T) and place it like below.
Step 29
Repeat Step 28 and place a flower like below.
Step 30
Select both layers and go to Layers > Merge Layers (CTRL+E). Then go to Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal all. Paint over the extra areas of the flowers.
Step 31
Select the top-most layer group and go to Layer > New Fill Layer. Set the color to a light purple (#efb3fa). Set Blending mode to Soft Light, Opacity to 75% and Fill to 50%.
Step 32
Select the Fill layer and go to Layer > New Fill Layer. This time, use a midtone blue color
(#445e98). Set Blending mode to soft light, Opacity to 20% and Fill to 70%.
Step 33
Select the second Fill layer and go to Layer > Photo Filter and select the "color" option, with an orange color.
Done!
