The process used was mainly cutting out parts of sources, adjusting sizes and colors and warping some parts into shape using puppet warp.
Masks, layer effects, glow, subtle drop shadows on some snowflakes, emboss, and various blending modes were used on different layers.
Some parts are painted using the source brushes and others are painted using the brushes which come already installed with photoshop.
The background is just a gradient layer fill with an overlay of a "render clouds" layer.

I didn't enter this contest because it seemed like such a boring subject to me. But damn did the artists do some fantastic work! This one really amazed me and was (I think) the highest rated chop I ever voted on. It's amazing what this program can do, and it's amazing what you (yes you author) have created.
Wow Thank you very much BWR. I consider that extremely high praise from you.
I am honored.
Mahalo to you too seestah.
I am especially taken with your notes which really help out newbies to photoshop. I love everything about your work but I did not warm up to the coloured in aspect...but that is a truly subjective opinion on my part. Your work is always over the top perfect.
What coloured in aspect are you referring to?
The scores I get tell me that my work is average. It is far from over the top perfect.
If it was over the top perfect, my scores on here would be in the 90% range
I appreciate your enthusiasm though. Thank you.
No one is in the 90% range. Your scores only reflect the votes, which are sometimes unfair and do not represent your real qualities. Your work is more on the over the top quality side than on the average side
What Zizounai said is spot on.
Thank you Sylvie, Olga and BWR. I appreciate your encouragement and high praises.
I think it's a typo, or I was high chewing magic mushrooms. I meant the red berries in her hair or rather red berries in general that's all. See, Sylvie, BMW and I all think your work is wonderful...and three of us cannot be wrong.
Chewing magic mushrooms? LOL. You are hilarious. Whether people like the red berries or not is subjective for sure. I love the frozen red berries and left them red deliberately for contrast. Making them all blue, just looked too boring to me.
Lovely chop.
Thanks BWR.
Congrats....I liked this one a lot
Thanks Olga.
Congratulation.
Thank you very much.
Howdie stranger!
