Original image

step 1 of 6

Made a rough sketch of my idea

step 2 of 6

removed the chillis that I wanted to use

step 3 of 6

Here is the diassembled mouse all the pieces are made from one of the 2 chillis. Using warp and liquify to make the required shapes. Then using hue and saturation to colour each part, after which I used dodge and burn to add some shading.

step 4 of 6

Here is the disassembled tree and branch, I used the same techniques described in step 3 to achieve the required results, only this time I used the twirl filter to add knots to the branch.

step 5 of 6

The leaves and berries are made from both red and green chillis, with some dodge and burn to add shading, leaf veins and highlights.

step 6 of 6

The background is a simple blue to light blue gradient, the clouds are soft large white brushes. I applied gaussian blur to the clouds to add depth and bring the mouse forward.

Final result
