Max layers (for me :)) with some max adjustments.
In CS5... Top layer is blended opacity original. Watercolor layer @ 55% multiply
Craquelure and Hue/Sat layers maxed and masked BG
Smart sharpen BF and thistle. Added highlight @ eye with LR adj brush.
Finally (just for MAX fun) LR Vignetting all sliders left.
Fun theme! All C&C welcome.

Very nice, Steve. The bright colors give it a very fun, whimsical feel, and I like the texture that the Craquelure filter gave to the BG. Well done.
