Begin by creating a new file (File>New) of 1280×1024 px and 72 dpi. Next stage, download a set of ready to use brushes for Adobe Photoshop, named D_Grungeset1, 149-grunge_brushes_by_szuia.
Create after that a new layer on which we’ll apply the brushes belonging to the set D_Grungeset1. The brushes’ colors include the next ones: #C1C0B1, #C7C0A9, #FFFFFF

You should get a kind of the background that is demonstrated below:

On the next new layer we’ll apply the Polygonal Lasso Tool (L) to mark out the next represented zones.

Using the Paint Bucket Tool (G), try to fill the marked zone with the color #00C7FF
