1) make a "gradient bath" just randomly place 5 to 10 thick gradients over your document.




2) Right after that, go into Craquelure(Filter>Texture>Craquelure) and use these settings(it'll be the same all through the tutorial)
Spacing: 15
Depth: 6
Brightness: 7



3) After using Craquelure, use Extrude(Filters>Stylize>Extrude)
Settings:
Squares
Size: 30
Depth: 30



4) Then Emboss(Filters>Stylize>Emboss)
Settings:
Angle: 135
Height: 45
Amount: 100%



5)Then Craquelure again(same settings)


6) Make a new layer and fill it with the color of your choice, then set it's blending mode to Color

7) Adding a darkness:

-Make a new layer and fill it black,

-use Grain(Filters>Texture>Grain)
Settings:
Intensity: 100
Contrast: 100
Vertical Lines


-then Spatter,
Settings:
Radius: 25
Smoothness: 5

-and set the Blending mode to Overlay, merge all layer(Ctrl/Cmd+shift+E). If it looks rough, blur it(Filters>Blur>Blur)

Result:

I don't think I'd ever use something that stick-outy as a background texture, but maybe as a graphic or for a header. It reminds me of a mountain face.

Yeah, I like it, and agree with biscuitrat... it's a lil stick-outy, whatever that means... How did you come up with it though? Just placing gradients and playing with them? (That's Usually how people make stuff, by accident)
