The re-working has "Artistic: Sponge" in the sky and "Artistic: Underpainting" on the ground. Blur, Sharpen, and Fill were used in various other places, along with the Polygonal Lasso.

The re-do is mostly variations of the "Brush Strokes: Ink Outlines" filter. The resulting texture makes me think of the elaborately-stitched patches we used to collect back in the day. That weird luminous quality suggests masses of tiny stitches in bright colors.

...and the re-do. "Artistic: Smudge Stick" in the background. Some fun with Free Transform, the Blur tool, and color adjustments. "Sketch: Halftone" on the roof (in one of the modes, but I forget which one).

Same card. First the "Hues" option got tweaked to alter the colors. The Paint Bucket tool did some smaller changes. Then the whole thing went through the "Pixellate: Halftones" filter on a pink dot setting, which added some texture and a pink undertone to some of the clouds.

Same card after alterations. No filters this time. Just a lot of fooling around with correcting tools, mostly Sharpen and Smudge. Also Paint Bucket, Sponge, Dodge, Burn, Clone Stamp, Pencil, and various brushes.
