Distracted Fairy

Vertella Greenleaf was supposed to clean that mushroom. The High Court was about to be hold the following day and she had been given the task to clean the mushrooms. She had already brushed the dirt off of two mushrooms, when she suddenly felt the urge to try out her newly given dress. She was so absorbed in dancing on the mushroom, she completely failed to notice that Larliquina Oak, one of the Fairy Queen's Mistresses of Ceremonies, had arrived to supervise her progress. Needless to say, that Vertella was going to be in troubles.

This is my entry for Week 165 of the weekly challenge over at Instead of visiting a Christmas Fair in another town and taking photos for another project, I've spent about 7 hours creating this manipulation. I did this, because I LOVE YOU GIRLS OVER AT !

Memo to self:
Next time when doing a photomanipulation, change the stock basis to 300 dpi, before starting work!

I might upload another version of this photomanipulation. I'm somehow not totally convinced, that this texture looks good. Perhaps, I might better have used some spider web brushes? I'm also not really happy how the dress of Vertella looks. Unfortunately I didn't know, you to get it to look better. As I aim to become better in photomanipulations, I appreciate constructive critique. If you've got suggestions. how to improve this manipulation, I'd like to hear them.
