Step 17

Import the Smoke Brush and using a combination of white and black paint some smoke on the bottom portion of our document. Use multiple layer if needed.

Step 18

Open the Skulls file. Copy and paste the skulls into our document. Add a layer mask and hide most of the skulls until you achieve an effect as I did below.

Step 19

Open the file Cross. Select the cross, copy and paste it into our scene. Add a layer mask to hide most of the cross (look at how I did in the image below) and place it near the skulls. Duplicate the cross (Ctrl + J) and place the duplicate to the right of the original cross. Rotate and resize it a little.

Step 20

Open the file Hand. Make a selection of the hand with the Quick Selection Tool. Copy and paste the hand into our scene. Resize it and put it between the two crosses. Also add a layer mask and mask the bottom parts of the hand.

Step 21

Create a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and drag the saturation slider to -77. Clip it to the hand layer. Create a Curves adjustment layer and drag the curve down as shown below. Clip it to the hand layer.

Step 22

Open the file Lamp. Make a selection of the lamp. Copy and paste the lamp into our scene. Position the lamp at the top of the house. Create a Curves adjustment layer with the settings show below and clip it to the lamp.

Step 23

Open the file Dead Tree 1. Copy and paste the tree into our scene (the trees are already precut so a simple Ctrl + A will select them). Add a layer mask and mask the bottom of the tree. Place one tree on the left side of our scene, near the horizon. Duplicate it two times and place the other two trees as shown below.

Step 24

Open the file Dead Tree 2. Copy and paste the tree into our scene. Place it as shown below. Add a layer mask and hide the bottom part of the tree.

Step 25

Create a Curves adjustment layer and drag the curve down. Clip it to the tree.

Step 26

Create a new layer and with a dark red paint a little apple hanging just below the dead tree. You don’t have to be very precise, just a blob of red with a little white for the highlight will do the trick.
