Go to bottom copy of tube, and erase anything showing below the flower spray.

Go to top tube.

You have two choices here. The easier way (see example at the bottom) is to delete the top tube completely, leaving the bottom tube peeking out from behind the spray.

If you want to follow the top example where her arm and hand are showing, then do as follows:

Drop opacity of flower spray to about 42 (so you can see what you are doing).

On top tube, using freehand selection tool, carefully draw around the left arm, along the waistline, and right hand, erasing all other parts that cover the flower spray.

Hit delete.

You should now have the same as in the top example.

Don’t panic if it looks wrong – if you make a mistake you can always go to Edit – undo and try again J

Make sure none of the tube is showing below the bottom of the flower spray (both top and bottom tubes).

REMEMBER TO PUT OPACITY OF FLOWER SPRAY BACK TO 100.
