After thinking about it for a while I came up with a new idea which was to have one person hold a red envelope and make it look…
In this photo blog, we had to take a photo of flowers. To take this photo I went outside onto my front lawn and looked at some of the flower bushes.

Using the brush tool in Photoshop I erased the Screen Blend mode on the flowers.
