01. I started out with this base here of Kobato from Kobato.

04. Add this texture

05. Make a new Color Fill adjustment layer #aeaeae set it to Multiply 100%.


06. Make a new Color Fill adjustment layer #cae9c4 set it to Soft Light 70%.


07. Make a new Color Fill adjustment layer #8196a7 set it to Overlay 60%.


08. Make a new Selective Color adjustment layer with these settings:
Colors:
-Reds: -38 +36 +83 +17

-Cyans: +100 -29 +74 +42
-Whites: -30 -41 -16 -32

09. Duplicate the Selective Color layer from step 08, and set it to Lighten 100%.


10. Make a new Color Balance adjustment layer at Normal 60% with these settings:
Midtones: -13 +14 +11
