[help]achieve this celestial effect

hey pros! is there any way i can manipulate this ghostly harp behind this beautiful angel into another image?

into this harp?


with ghostly blue effect and light beads on the string Successful manipulator will get another project for the wings too.

select your harp either be it using magic eraser and deleting background or selecting the harp copy it to its own layer
set background to blue
create a new layer goto filter> render > clouds making sure your foreground colour is white
repeat last step but make sure harp is between the 2 cloud layers lower the opacity of these clouds down
use a layer mask on clouds layer above harp and paint back in some of the harp
create a new layer select a soft brush and paint white dots of various sizes around the harp
then in blending options of the white dot layer add a slight outer glow and duplicate the layer
Thats the basics of how to do this without any additional brushes ect but a cloud brush will give you more the effect your after

it should work just make sure you choose blue colours etc maybe even have a blue overlay etc
