Jolyn's second Calandar

this is where i start... for my second calendar...i use this image as background.....

then... i use quick selection tool... i select the flowers and grass i wanted...

i moved to my background image...move and resize it and arrange it nicely..

next..is this fairy.... i selected only the fairy...by using quick selection tool 

then i move to my back ground image...place it to the place i want... make it smaller too...

here... i wanted it to look like the fairy holding a star..so i choose the star shape tool..

and there.....a star....

but i wanted it to look interesting.... so i added some effects onto it....

i right click the layer...choose blending option..

then choose color overlay....

then a outer glow effect for it.....

select how the effects as i want...

and here is it.... the star.....

here..... i copied one swan image over....

i place it behind the grass....rotate a bit....

i reduce the opacity for the swan....

and.................
ITS DONE!
