I opened a blank sheet, then I opened the picture of a wooden surface separately, extracted two parts, pasted them onto the main sheet, copied each and made a wooden frame out of these 4 layers!
Then I corrected the corners by erasing the extra parts!
step 3 of 9
I merged all 4 frame layers into a single one and then added the shade!
After that, I inserted a new layer between the frame and the background, filled it with colour (ede9e4) and then covered it with a custom pattern. I reduced opacity and fill.
step 4 of 9
Finally, i opened the contest source picture and extracted a part that resembled a moth, shaped it mainly with eraser tool and then pasted another tiny part of the original picture onto the top to achieve the shape of a butterfly/moth.
I didn't want to change the original layer much or to correct the missing parts of the wood from the original image- I simply used it the way it was.
step 5 of 9
After pasting my first moth onto the project sheet, i changed its colours and made another one from the same layer.
step 6 of 9
Then I went back to my "butterfly sheet".
I extracted another part of the source image, removed the extras and placed it under the already made moth and got an "extended" wing. I copied it and flipped it horizontally under the second wing. Then I flipped it vertically and placed in the middle- that is the tail!
You can see what it looked like when the top layer was switched off in the5th image!
step 7 of 9
I went back to that same butterfly again, masked it, duplicated some layers and changed some values and got a butterfly in different colours.
I pasted that one onto the project sheet as well!
step 8 of 9
For the third time, i changed the colours on this butterfly and then liquiffied some of its parts to get a new shape.
That was the last butterfly!
step 9 of 9
Once that all the butterflies were added to the project sheet, i added the shades and then made tiny tags on which I wrote imaginary names :) .
