I have used a two main images,
the pink flowers on the left that is being repeated in smaller scale as well,
and the one on the right of the composition,
both images treated with watercolor techniques and watercolor brushes,
I changed during the process the opacity, scale and direction of the brush,
always using the same brush with large surface and well defined edges.
You can see the full tutorial in Anna's blog.

I added as a background paper and Artplay Palette Wonderful and also Gateway papers changing the blending mode to overlay to get a new background effect by combining both papers,
this amazing papers do all the background scenery.
In addition I used many transfers in around borders outside atmosphere and overall blending effect.
