1. First I cropped the picture and sharpened it as needed.
2. Now in order to enhance it to make it pretty, I duplicated it twice and set the first duplicate to screen 80% opacity and the
other to overlay 100% opacity.
3. Then i went to layers>hue-saturation and set the saturation to 40 and made a new layer and filled it with
#d1ffe7, setting to burn 100% opacity.
4. At this point, the picture looks good, I could've stopped right here if I had wanted too. The coloring is nice, and everything is cropped well, but I wanted to give it kind of a wonder feeling. Deciding to add light textures. First I made a new layer and put this texture in it.

5. I set it to lighten-only 50% opacity and duplicated it. I rotated the duplicate at an angle of 90 degrees, making it look like this:
6. I set it to lighten-only 50% opacity. Next I made another new layer and put this texture in it.

7. And set it to, yet again, lighten-only 60% opacity. Now the picture should look something like this.
8. Next, I made a new layer and added another texture.

9. I duplicated it three times and set the first to lighten-only 50% opacity. The second I desaturated and set to screen 50% opacity. The last layer I moved so the big red spot was over the pevensies running (mainly Susan and Lucy) and set it to lighten-only 30% opacity.
10. Now as you can see theres a little square of red where I moved the texture. So, I erased the edges of that layer so
that it appeared to be part of the picture and not a random red square. I'd suggest using a small fuzzy brush at the opacity of about 50%. Now it should look something like this:
11. Once I was done that, I added text and set it to overlay 100% opacity and I was done. :)
If anyone has any questions, I'll happy to answer them. :)
