0. Prepare your base by sharpening, blurring, blah blah blah.
1. Create a new layer and fill with # c0c0c0. Set this to COLOUR BURN 100%.

2. Duplicate the base twice and drag both copies so that they are on top of the colour burn layer. Set the middle one to SCREEN 100% and the top one to SOFT LIGHT 100%.

3. Create a new layer and fill with black [or white, it does the same thing] and set to SATURATION 100%.
>>
4. Create a new layer and fill with # b63675. Set to LIGHTEN 100%.
>>
5. Duplicate the base and drag it to the top. Set to SOFT LIGHT 100%.

6. I took this texture by extra_aconite and set it to SCREEN 100%. I then rotated it and moved around a bit.

And that's it!
