it was the 'diamond' that caught me eye in this one. Simple steps, using layers, almost every step is on a new layer..
curves, levels, and saturation adjustment.
selected the 'diamond' and followed the "how to make a bubble portrait' step in the DPS blog. Copied the 'bubble several times, rotated each bubble till I was happy with the effect. Enlarged canvas to create frame. Voila, diamond bubbles....
