Create a Wonderfully Colorful and Everlasting Dream Fantasy Manipulation

Add layer mask to this one. Use a soft brush to reduce the nebula effect in the sky and on the lake:

Step 9

Duplicate this layer, flip it vertically and move it down to create reflection for this nebula effect:

Apply Motion Blur to this layer:

Step 10

Make the nebula 1 layer and its reflection selected then press Cmd/Ctrl+G to create a group for them. Change the mode of this group from Pass Through (default group mode) to Hard Light 100%. Make a Curves adjustment layer on the top of the layers within this group to change the color of the nebula effect:

Step 11

I used a Color Balance adjustment layer to make this effect more vibrant:

Step 12

Make a new layer on the top (above the nebula 1 group). Change the brush to the cloud ones. I used number 1252, color #fcf5db to paint a cloud at the middle section of the lake:

Step 13

Duplicate this layer, move the lower down to make reflection for this cloud after flipping it vertically. Lower the opacity of this reflection layer to 50%:

Use layer mask to reduce the top of this reflection then apply Motion Blur :

Step 14

I painted another cloud (number 1369) at the right of the first one:

Make reflection for this cloud as done with the first:

Step 15

Paint two other clouds at the left of the first and make reflections for them:

Step 16

I used a Curves adjustment layer with Clipping Mask to darken a cloud a little:

On this Curves layer mask use a soft brush to erase the top to keep it a bit darker than the bottom:

Step 17

Group all the cloud layers and their reflection ones. Change the mode of this group to Normal 100%. Add a Selective Color adjustment layer to add some yellow to the white clouds:

On its layer mask, use a soft brush to reduce the yellow effect on the cloud at the left edge:

Step 18

I used a Curves adjustment layer to darken and change the color of the clouds:

Apply brush masking to refine the light on them. You can see the result on the mask and on the picture:

Step 19

Open the paper boat stock and extract it from the background.

Make a new layer and active the Clone Tool (S). Use this tool to remove the splash on the boat:
