Duplicated layer, opened 2 textures as layers and changed their opacity, duplicated one of the texture layers twice and adjusted the color of the other texture layer, opened fairies as layer, added layer mask to fairies layer and masked out unwanted portions, got frustrated when the fairy masking wasn't going well, moved the fairy layers under the texture layers, got happy again, cropped, flattened image.

Pretty good edits so far guys!
Crop image, duplicate 3 times. 2nd layer polar coordinates-polar to rectangular set blend mode to screen. 3rd layer- polar coordinates - rectangular to polar, rotate 90degrees. blend mode mulitply. erase a few areas. played with opacity levels on all layers. merged all. used sharpen tool to sharpen fowers

I used another layer and gave it the oil paint filter and darkened the lighting just a bit. I added a layer of white fade around the canvas edges after I merged down the layers I dropped the brightness down to -60. I'm not really too good with PS but I play around with a few plugins and it sure makes it a bit easier.

Great job! I think this is really cool with the fairy's and all.

Took the picture and flipped it. Then applied Boost and Invert into using Picnik in Flickr.

Thanks! I use photoshop and a bunch of different plugins and actions. For this I used Alien Skins Snap Art.
