Picture of women: I dont know.

First i opened the main picture of the girl and erased the bg with Filter->Extract and add to your (500x200) base.
Dublicate the picture and use Filter->Pixelate->Fragment. Use free transform to make this layer bigger and put it below the first layer.
Add a bg picture under the other layers.
Than make a new layer, select all, edit->stroke with white. big as you like.
Add some text and a light texture if you like.

Coloring? I used some settings i read in

I cant remember if i made some changes. Just see what fits your picture best.

After all was done i flatten the image and dublicate.
Than use Filter->Stylize->Glowing Edges and set to lighten or screen (what looks best)
Move this one a little left, right up or down and erase from face and text.
