thereafter.
(click here for a closer look of the pic)
if you wish to add more decorations to the picture,you may do so.
all you have to do is simply create a new layer and use the brush tool.
(it is advisable to separate the decorations into different layers as it makes things easier if you want to modify its layer properties at a later point of time.)

i added a star dust effect to the picture,
as it makes the models look more glamorous.
i went on about changing its layer properties.
i chose outer glow,amended its opacity and spread intensity.
(click here for a closer look of the pic)
(opacity level : 76%
spread intensity : 193% )
accordingly,i continued with the decorations.
i added a new layer for the colorisation of the flower.
(click here for a closer look of the pic)
using suitable colors,i used the gradient tool.
i stretched it across the flower ,
and amended its blending change to get the desired effect.
i used the eraser tool to erase parts of it for the blending of color into the flower so that it looks real on the whole.
the sponge tool was also being used to desaturate the color added.
all these were done to allow the flower to blend with the overall background.
(click here for a closer look of the pic)
at last,TATA.
the picture is done.
click flatten image to merge all the layers together.
for the preview of the final blended picture,click here.
the whole blendin process was made easy and hence not many decorations were added (:
