Photoshop Project 12 - 1st Example

In response to this contest.

1. HANDS - Used a pattern from the scarf to create a design on the fingernails. Used masking and a blend mode to put a lightning image into the hands.
2. LIPS - Enhanced lips with a color overlay and a snowflake image.
3. SKIN - Found out that the blue channel had a lot of facial depth. Used it as an alpha channel and overlaid it on skin areas (masking out the eyes and lips).
4. SKIN - Blended a leaves image onto the skin.
5. SCARF - Blended a flowers image onto scarf and added depth with a gradient overlay. Colored green tones to match eyes.
6. BACKGROUND and EYES - Added a blurred grass background, colored orange to match lips. Removed original highlight in eyes and replaced with a white flower shape.
