step3a

Create another group for another foreground. Name the new group more foreground. Place the group under the previous foregrounds. We still do almost the stem steps as the previous ones.

step3b

Again, create another group for the last foreground. Name this group another foreground.

step3c

Step 4 (Adding background image)

Open the background stock image to the document. Convert this image into a smart object. Place it under the foreground groups in the layer panel. With the Free Transform Tool, scale the image up. Arrange its position where needed. Please take a look at the screenshot below for your inspiration:

step4a

Give this smart object a smart filter: Custom. Apply the same setting of the previous step 2 for the custom filter. Here is the result will look like:

step4b

Next, give this layer another smart filter: Surface Blur. To achieve this, go to Filter > Blur > Surface Blur.

step4c

Give this background layer a mask and mask some areas on the red marked ones. Try to use a very soft round brush at 10-20% opacity. The screenshot below will guide you the areas to be masked:

step4d

This is the result should be:

step4e

Click on the filter effect mask thumbnail and mask the red marked areas. Use a very soft round brush to mask the areas.

Open another tree stock image. Crop part of the tree. Use Lasso tool to select the part and crop it into a single layer.

step5a

Add the cropped part to the main document. Place it above the background layer in the layer panel. Mask some unneeded parts.

step5b

Step 6 (Creating ground)

In this step we are going to create ground. Open the fairy house stock image on the document. Convert it to a smart object. Scale and locate it where needed. Place this fairy house layer between the first two foreground groups and the second two groups.

step6a

Duplicate the fairy house layer (Ctrl+J). Give this duplication layer of the smart object some filters by going to Filter > Filter Gallery

step6b
step6c

The result should look like this:

step6d

Give another smart filter:

step6e

Set the duplication layer’s blending to normal at 55% opacity:

step6f

Duplicate the second fairy house layer and set it to soft light layer at 30% opacity. Select all the fairy house layers and hit Ctrl+G to group them. Name this group ground
