Floral Deer

I used an image of a deer on one layer and on another layer I had several of the same colour, but different style flowers. I duplicated the flowers behind the image of the deer so the deer covered all of the flowers. I merged all of the flowers together. Next I cut along the image of the deer but on the flower layer. I then hid the deer layer and removed the flower deer. I then put the flower deer back in the exact spot (it is actually put in a new layer) and then I discarded my old flower layer and this is what I was left with.
