First of all I selected the hut by using the pen tool. It was quite a work to get rid of some backround that was still visible through some wood pieces.
I selected the moon out of a picture by using the quick selection tool and added onto my hut image. Found a good spot for the moon (top right side of the screen) and connected the hut to the moon by using a hook from one of my own images (please see SBS).
Added sky and clouds backround, trees, colored image using a lot of different gradient adjustment layers.
Added light beams from windows and some star dust using an excellent magic brush.

Credits to:
- "Lill-stock" for a perfect moon image. Please visit account at: http://lill-stock.deviantart.com/;
- "spiritsighs-stock" for a perfect fantasy brush. Main account at: http://spiritsighs-stock.deviantart.com/;

And "Stock.xchng", as usual the best site to find exactly what I'm looking for and "obsidiandawn" for a great light beam brush with endless usage!

Please see SBS for details.
I hope you like it! (2 years and 288 days ago)
