 This started out as a white camellia. I cropped it, flipped it & pasted it in without blending. Flattened the 2 flips, copied it, distorted it, & blended it. I used to do these flip'n'paste all the time before I learned flip'n'blend.

Here's Flip'n'Paste, in pictures:
First, a crop. Copy it.

Double the size of the canvas in one direction only.

Paste in your Copy & drag it to the edge.

Flip the copied layer & flatten. Copy.

Double the canvas size in the other direction.

Paste in your copy & drag it to the edge.

Flip the copied layer. & Flatten.

Curves adjustment layer.

Invert a new layer, blend on difference.

I also like the curvy shapes and soft colors.

I'm a little unclear on your method description though -- if you paste something in, without changing the blending mode to something other than "Normal," don't you just see the topmost layer? Or do you reduce the opacity without changing the blend mode?

Oh, very pretty! I love the soft pastel colours. In fact I misread your notes as saying pastelled instead of pasted.

So that's how you get those lovely soft colors without the hard edges.
Nice work.
