The starting image for the PFCC Challenge was a night shot of paper lanterns from Unsplash. I tried several different ideas, but didn’t find anything I really liked. Several years ago I did a series of what I call my Dressmaking images, using a photo for my fabric. I decided that the latter image would make wonderful fabric, so I got out my dressmaker’s form (from AdobeStock - modified  so each element is on it’s own layer) added wallpaper out of some Graphic Authority and Adobe Paper Texture Pro textures. The toe shoes are also from AdobeStock.
