Texture Work.

I make this work basically using texture on a girl and then I smudge away the hard edges.

1) I start off using this picture.

2) I turn the picture of the girl into threshold from the adjustment layer.
3) I added this texture on top of the girl.

4) I put the pattern to linear burn with 100% opacity
5) I set the girl to 70% opacity so you an see some color from the original picture but not too much.
6) I went to layer properties and put pattern overlay and chose a pattern that I believe will suit the image.
 7) I also added this pattern on the top of the image:

8) I put this into lighten with 10% opacity.
9) After I lighten I make a new layer and try to make her lip a bit more pink. Blending mode: Color with 60% opacity.
10) Afterward, I want to get rid of the harsh black spotted edge that threshold was giving me, so I use the smudge tool and smudge out some part.

Overall look of my layers:
