first thing I did was to create a black to white gradient on 350 x 350 transparent layer and set the opacity to 50%
Then on another layer I created a gradient using these colours cb6a3f to f3e966
and set it to overlay so it looks like this.
On another layer I added and resized this excellent image (I don't know who the artist was but thank you
)
I then duplicated this layer setting the first one to Multiply
and the second one to Soft Light.
Now adding the Textures...
The one I used can be downloaded here.

And I used this one out of that pack (well just the top left hand corner of it anyhow)
I've added this texture on a new layer, resized it, then duplicated it setting the first one to Multiply and the second to Overlay. You will note that I've lowered the Fill on the multiply layer to 55% because I thought it was a bit too dark.
The tear drops, on a new layer I have just using a small round hard brush painted on a black dot, zoomed right in then gone EDIT>>TRANSFORM>>WARP and adjusted the top two middle handles to give me that tear shape.
Then I've lowered the fill right down to 3% (so its nearly invisible) then applied these blending options at these settings
Drop Shadow
Inner Shadow
Inner Glow (this is actually black and servers as a secondary inner shadow)
Bevel and Emboss
Color Overlay
now on this I've set that blue colour (2235e9) to color dodge, you are probably better off not doing this and having it on normal with the colour you want on a low opacity
This layer I have set on normal.
I have then duplicated this layer to finally give me the purple colouring I wanted. (I'm in-effect using that color dodge again)
Again this layer set to normal.
And you seen the outcome in the other thread but here it is again.
