2)Open a 100x 100 canvas with a transparent background

3)from the pictures create 3 or four psd like things using the pollygon lasoo tool.

4) paste the psd things onto your canvas and resize and postion them to suit your taste.

5) merege all visible layers.

6) I duplicated my original image, desaturated the copy and set it to overlay.

7) Merge the two layers

8) I then pasted in this pattern and positioned it under my image
