probably the easiest way would be to actually create the above image as a custom brush.
if you're not sure how to do that--
take the top image, hit ctrl+a to select all, then go to your brush icon on your toolbar.
if you don't have your tool options palette enabled, go to view >> toolbars, and check "tool options palette"
then go up to the tool options palette, hover over it, and on the little brush icon in the right-hand corner, click on it and select "custom" then click "create"
hit okay, and you've now got a brush to use. simply pick whatever colour you'd like it to be, create a new raster layer on your icon, and apply wherever you like. Of course, you may want to mess with the blend layers on the layer palette for the brush, or erase parts of it, or mirror or flip it if it's not exactly where you want it.
I hope that's clear enough, sorry for the lack of pictures to illustrate ^^;
ok i got to the part where i clicked "custom" and all, but i don't know what to do from there. how do i put the two images together? if i copy the second image and paste it on the brush as a layer, it just pastes over it and you can't see the blood spots.
once you've created it as a custom brush, you don't need to paste the images together. you won't even need the brush image anymore.
just make sure that you've still got the "brush" icon selected on your toolbar, and the custom brush you've created selected in your tool options palette, and hover over the icon image. you'll see the outline of the brush over it, just click the mouse once to apply the brush. I'm not sure if this will help, but here's a screencap to sort of illustrate what I mean.
Nine times out of ten, you'll be using a Raster layer. Layers seem daunting at first, but as you use them you'll come to love them. Or as we always say around here, Layers are your friends! (smile)
As explained to you, because you won't want to use that design (brush) in black and white, you can't just take the image and paste it as a new layer on the base (face) image. Otherwise you could just do that -- then go to the Layers palette and change the Opacity and/or Blend Mode of the top layer.
I'd mention that you'll want to do that with any layer you use, even so...
If you don't know how to make custom brushes, you'll want to check either the community MEMORIES or TAGS. You'll find more than one tutorial on 'how to' there
