Done in Ps 7 to make
This Graphic Fairly easy. Image heavy.

Okay, so I take my picture and I’ve cropped it down…the size doesn’t matter really, just whatever you want.
I duplicate it twice, setting the first one to Screen 100% and the second to Soft Light 100%. I also added a Gaussian Blur to these two at about 2.0.
Now with my foreground color on black and the background color set to white, I went to Layer>>New Adjustment Layer>> Gradient Map and set the blend mode to Multiply. Play around with the slider until you get the amount of black and white that you want.
On new layers:
#15162B Set to Exclusion
#D9F8DD set to Color Burn. Duplicate and set to Color Burn 74%
#C7B299 set to Soft Light 100%
Then I took this texture from Hybrid Genesis and rotated it 90 CW. I added a layer mask and using this brush from Bruno’s Honey Pot I took away a bit of the texture.

Then I flood filled a new layer with white, added a layer mask and did the same as the previous step.
Then I used this brush on a new layer
I then added some text. The main text is in the Veru Serif font at 43 pt. The text at the top is a couple brushes from

Then I added this texture from
meleada and set it to Soft Light 89%
Finally I went to Layer>>New Adjustment Layer>>Color Balance and just played around until my image had a nice color that I liked
