how do I re-create this texture?

[cyberdao]

This is part of a menu I originally created in Fireworks MX.

I'm trying to re-create the menu in PS7. How would I get a texture similar to my old one (the brown-white texture of the hard cover, bottom and right side)?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi cyberdao, welcome.

Use the "Clouds" filter on a new layer using your desired colours, then run the "Sprayed Strokes" filter on that. Sprayed Strokes is under the "Brush Strokes" menu. My settings are a bit higher than your example image shows. Use lower settings for a less 'streaky' effect.

I used the "Stroke" Blend Options filter here to produce the slight 3Dish effect. You can download my PSD file here and check out the settings if you like.
