Create an abstract flower illustration with depth and sparkle!

Hi, this will be our first challenge. As you can see, for learning and relaxation sake, I am making our first forum challenge a graphic one.

Jessica is a creator of artist brushes. She also uses Photoshop, something not many of us actually have, but most of us do have something very similar, such as Photoshop Elements, or even another software that is capable of creating layers, shapes, lines, colors, and effects. Some of you might even use Gimp, or Pixlr online.

Whatever you have or use, this tutorial Jessica is demonstrating, can be adapted to what ever graphic editor you have available. The purpose here is to let Jessica show you what the steps to creating an element like this are, so you can take what you see and apply it to your own software to create a final result.
