Place this layer under the basic layer containing the stars and blur it out with the usual option Gaussian Blur.
Create now a new layer above the girl's layer and select the Brush Tool of Starburst – Small type to picture the flares on the girl's jewelry, changing a little the brush's size.
Insert on her hair a little more brightness and nuance. At the beginning we have to draw white stripes on that places we want the hair look brighter. Select the Brush Tool of Hard Round type for this operation and do it on a new layer. Blur out this layer (Gaussian Blur) and change its type on Overlay.
Process the same way the color which we want to be on her hair, but don't forget to minimize the Opacity till 35%,for example, just for the color not to look too mush intensive.
Make a copy of the sky's layer now (ctrl+j) and apply to this copy the following combination: Filter – Artistic – Rouge Pastels.
Change the layer's type on Soft Light and minimize the Opacity till 75%.
Combine now all the layers: Layer – Merge Visible (shift+ctrl+e) and make a copy of this final layer (ctrl+j). Apply the next filter for the new layer too: Filter – Sketch – Halftone Pattern.
