Pressed Flowers in Watercolor has been one of my favourite projects so far, but at the same time probably the most time-consuming. I'm really happy with what came out of it and many lessons I've learned during the process.
Here are the steps that it took me to finalise the project:
- pick up just the right leaves and flowers,
- let them dry in my thickest Bill Bryson book,
- scan them in 600 dpi,
- isolate the shapes in Photoshop using the Layer Mask tool (took me quite some time to perfect the edges),
- prepare the background from scanned paper,
- apply the watercolor effect with multiple filters and brush strokes (had so much fun doing that!).
