We have this beautiful exotic flower, Yucca flaccida, in our garden. It came to Sweden in my uncle's suitcase 30 years ago when he worked in South Carolina. It has survived in our cold climate and even managed to be moved a few times. It arouses admiration in everyone who sees it.

Process: I started with to add some filters to my photo. Then I placed it on a black background and added adjustment layers for Levels and Curves and merged it with the background. I added embellishments, brushes and transfers from ArtPlay Palette Amaranthine. The transfer in the bottom was duplicated and the copy set to Multiply. Another transfer was placed over the flower to get some texture. This transfer was set to blending mode Linear Burn. The third transfer was placed along the left side and I only kept a part of a lace here. I finished the layout with the title from Amaranthine WordART Mix No 1.
