The Photoshop surreal landscape I decided on creating was written by Melody Nieves and posted here in this tutorial called How To Create an Enchanted Rose Photo Manipulation in Adobe Photoshop
I was able to mimic the tutorial but I hit quite a few bumps along the way. The instructions were very vague on some parts, especially when it came to making the vase clearer. I also tweaked the tutorial to make the process easier for me. In one case I copy and pasted the rose petal instead of completely doing it from scratch. Although I did struggle a bit, I was happy with my end result.
