Font for Tulip (Scriptina)

Process: I first chose my photo, placed it in the center of my page. Added the FotoBlend and clipped my photo to it. I then added artsy paper #2. Moved my photo around to fit it on the page to best showcase it. I decided I wanted more of the tulip edge to show so I went to the FotoBlend layer, used a black brush at 50% opacity and painted some black in, since the photo is clipped to it, it added some more of the flower to the mask. Below the mask layer I started to add some transfers to build more of the watercolor effect I wanted to achieve. Right above the background layer I added the tissue texture to add more interest to the paper. Above all the layers I added my embellishmennts (splats, stitches, buttoms and wreath.) Finishing with the wordart from Artplay blossom and the Title.
