Drawing Without An Eraser

I tried something new with a studio type photo of one of the rabbits in my collection and a few colorful leaves left from fall.  I just put the rabbit and leaves on some freezer paper for the background so it would be plain but I think I could have used a white flour towel too!  Maybe next try I will use that.  So here I have used a couple of layers and a recipe from The Test Kitchen
http://photoshoptestkitchen.com/.  I only did a couple little things different than the tutorial showed but I like the soft over all effect and how it took a very stark image and transformed it into something more.   The Brush I used is an art brush that was added at the last, Life Is The Art Of Drawing Without An Eraser.  Enjoy!
