I'm not the greatest at chopping but here is an example of techniques of making brushes and applying textures with your own photos...
I think step 8 brings alot together.... mostly just cut, paste, layer, and messing around and using different effects....especially different overlays and burning!
Hopefully this is helpful and I included all the pictures... feel free to use them ... except for the one of SamPanda.... you will have to get her permission... lol! Good luck!
