Step 18

Duplicate this layer twice and use Ctrl+T to move them to the top and bottom of the left. Use a soft black brush on each mask of these layers to reduce the dots visibility.

Move this part onto the circles and model and use a layer mask to erase or reduce the visibility of the shapes, making them appear more subtle.

Step 20

Duplicate this layer and use Ctrl+T to rotate it to the left. Use a layer mask to reduce the dot’s visibility.

Step 21

Duplicate the first dots layer and move it to the top of the layers. Use the Liquify Tool to tweak them into different shapes and place it in the top left of the circles. Change this layer mode to Pin Light 100% and use a soft black brush to reduce the visibility of the shapes on the right.

Step 22

Duplicate this layer twice and move them to the top right and below the circles. Use a soft black brush to refine the mask on each of these layers.

Step 23

Open the waterlily image and cut it out from the background. Place it in the lower of the left corner and duplicate it twice. Move them to the area near the top middle and the right corner of the canvas.

Add a mask to each of these layers and use a soft black brush to make some petals fade into the background.

Step 24

Select all the waterlily layers and hit Ctrl+G to make a group for them. Change the group’s mode to Normal 100% and make a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer within this group. Alter the Saturation settings:

Step 25

Open the circular design images pack and select the set 0001. Choose the following settings after the pop up appears.

Select the green circle on the right and drag it into the main canvas using the Move Tool. Place it in the top left near the small waterlily.

Step 26

Change the mode of this layer to Overlay 100% and use a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to change the color of this circle.

Step 27

Select the red circle from the circular vector image in the bottom of the middle to add to the big waterlily on the right of the canvas. Change this layer mode to Linear Dodge 100% and add a mask to this layer. Use a soft black brush to remove the part covering the waterlily.
