I have utilized two different images to create this composition in addition to a background paper from Anna's beautiful APP.
The focal flower image was treated with watercolor techniques.
I have used brush #6 from the APP to extend the illusion of shadows from the flower base.
I have used the second image in the lower left corner to provide movement, muted colors as also textures.
The effect placed on the left lower corner was created from a photo treated with watercolor techniques as well.
To add dimension and intensity to the flowers I added two glows, being treated with layer blending mode color burn.
The composition was finished with a inked word art sentiment and few decorative elements from the APP.
