Of course i can do that.
Sharpen the picture so you get some nice edges.
I first applied 2 white layers using soft light (to lighten the background mainly) erasing each layer where i do not want a lot of white. mostly along the edges.
Then a couple of white layers,the fill set down to 60% and erasing each layer parts of the white to let the flower come through. . A bit here and there.
I use the texturizer (Canvas) and reduce the opacity to 45%. I then put a cloudy texture on top of it. It was fairly dark and i used vivid light.
That is sort of it.
The eraser brush has to be set very low to 15% opacity, and it depends on the picture which part should be more dominant.
I also cloned the main blue flower, made it smaller and placed it next to the big one, lowering the opacity, so it is less dominant.
I hope that is sort of understandable. I can, if anybody wants it, post a more step by step instrunction.
