Cut
out several leaves from a picture:
Place them under the girl's layer:
And make the corrections on their color, using the Selective Color:
Then make use of the next combination: Image - Adjustments - Channel Mixer.
And again this option: Image - Adjustments - Selective Color.
Make three copies now of the layer containing the leafage as for the copies to be placed lower than the basic layer of the leaves. Blur out each of the copies selecting the next filter options: Filter - Blur - Motion Blur. Increase the blurring value on each of the new layers:
Combine now all these three layers: Layer - Merge Down (ctrl+e) and distort them a little with Edit - Transform - Distort.
Make the stripes wavier, applying Filter - Distort - Wave.
Change the layer's type on Multiply:
Stretch it out in its length (ctrl+t). Then make use of the same method we applied when representing the snails' shadows for drawing now the leaves' shadows:
Then minimize a little the intensity of the basic layer containing the leafage (ctrl+u).
Apply
to this layer the next photo filter shown below:
Merge down all the layers now: Layer - Merge Visible (shift+ctrl+e) and create a new layer, lower than the layer containing the picture itself. Then enlarge very accurately the zone around it, selecting the Crop Tool and paint the empty layer in white.
Create out of this picture's layer a mask: Layer - Add Layer Mask - Reveal All and choose the Brush Tool with unequal edges of black color to paint partially the picture's edges just to create an effect of tear paper.
Apply the next command now: Layer - Remove Layer Mask - Apply and make a copy of the layer (ctrl+j). Then transform the copy in black selecting the Channel Mixer.
Place the layer under the layer containing the picture and blur it out (Gaussian Blur).
Choose now Pattern Stamp Tool with the next shown adjustments:
Paint in this color the layer's background:
Change the color also (ctrl+u):
Merge down all the layers now (shift+ctrl+e) and apply the next options: Filter - Sharpen - Sharpen just to increase the sharpness of the picture:
The picture is finished!
