:: Start off with your base. If it's slightly blurry or could do with a bit of 'uplifting' go into adjust -> sharpen.. -> sharpen (Filter -> Sharpen in PS) and sharpen as much as you need to (normally once or twice is enough). If you're using a picture which has a person in it, you may find the face go a bit pixelated and to cure this click on the smudge on the toolbar and go over the skin with a low-ish opacity, such as 20% until it looks smooth.

:: After the sharpening you may want to adjust the colour slightly, or the brightness/darkness/saturation... you can do this in the Adjust (Image -> Adjustments in PS) menu.  

:: Right... now you have your base which is now ready for the colouring. I'm going to be using this:

:: Add this texture made by Gender@LJ as a new layer and set it to 'Screen' at 80 opacity.

:: Select the eraser tool and erase the texture on her face, neck, hands and hair.

>:: Now add this texture (if you know who made it please tell me so I can credit) and set it to overlay 100 opacity.

:: Erase her face, I left her hair, hands and neck as it is.

:: Now add a new layer with #8b0b80

:: Set it to screen 100 opacity and erase her face, neck, hands and hair.

:: Add text, borders and blah... to your hearts content!
