Following your path!
It has been a long time since I got to wear a dress like this one,
I love the flow of it, the romantic flair that transpire from it,
beautiful feminine fashion that has to be remembered when not used... unfortunately in my case,
we have become just so practical these days in fashion wear...
Using Anna Aspnes APP Heart Beach!

Anna Aspnes APP Vintage Summer

The focal image was treated with watercolor techniques.
I used a duplicated watercolor layer of the focal image in the layer stack with a blending option pink light.
The background effect is created by using different transfers from the APP Heart Beach and Vintage Summer with slight modifications on shape,
all of them were place over a background paper#3 from the APP Heart Beach, this particular paper has a soft color and wonderful overall texture on the left.
I used textures below the feet of the image as well to create an illusion of a road/path...
all the beauty done by Anna's transfers
from this magnificent beautiful APPs.
The flowers from the dress were recreated from the original none treated photo image, using the clone tool and brush effect (for the hat, skirt and the back of the dress).
The translucent effect on the skirt on the right was created with a transfer from Anna, I used on it a blending mode "color" and I added a flower reproduced with the clone tool over,
extending the effect of the skirt.
You can see the details on the clone tool in my tutorial #4 from the Artsy composite series here.

I have used also an scribble from Anna to complete the composition.
The beauty of Ann's APP is that you have all you need to do any page, Ann
