xt shading and highlighting were added with the burn and dodge tool. Next flowers and ferns were drawn and repeated into a pattern and gold braiding drawn in with brush tool and "bevel emboss" effect. Then the different stages were layered and shaded to form design.
step 3 of 3
Flowers are each drawn in white then hit with a burn tool to get grey lines and stacked to make a pleasing arrangement... then repeated. To get the yellow one I adjusted "color saturation". The centers are done with brown and "noise" filter then shaded with burn tool. Ferns are green dots with "bevel emboss" then pulled with the smudge tool.
