Hello!! This is my first post in before and after. I appreciate all comments and the explanation is below the picture.
original





I used PS CS3 to edit this picture.

The background is called The Field by Joker 84 on deviant art.

The picture of me was taken by my hubby while I was watching my daughter on Easter day.

~I cut myself out of my background using a soft small eraser brush and went around my edges carefully (there are easier ways, but this always works best for me).

~I opened the field picture.

~Placed me on the field picture

~Added wings from a scrap book kit called Enchanted Forest by Sweet Blossom Designs.

~Drew a box over me and used a white glass style.

~Merged all visible

~Converted the whole picture with the professional B&W action from Alice in Wonder Land

~reopened the colored background (had to reopen because it would have been merged anyway when the action ran)

~Placed the color copy on top and changed the opacity down to around 50% or so.

~Changed the layer to, I believe I used multipy.

~Took a large soft eraser brush and ran over the box with me.

~Merged it all visible again and used a frame brush to create the frame.

~Saved as a PNG file.
