Thank you! This is a photo of a rose from my garden. I used the "quick selection tool" in CS6 to remove the rest of the rose bush and used a painterly texture by French Kiss set at normal blending mode for the background. I believe I also added another layer of the texture over the entire image at very low opacity with a soft light blending mode.
