Once again, pay attention to the shadows, you can use shadows here to make objects appear higher - for example, see this screenshot, where the girl holds the thread with her arm.

One more example of using layer mask to achieve "rough" look of cutten jeans. To make a star, I scanned a piece of white textile.

Then, I pasted it to my file, and added Layer mask to it (Layer menu - Layer mask - Hide all). Then I selected the "Rough Round Bristle" brush (see screenshot) - if I used this brush to draw inside actual LAYER - it would look like this screenshot ...

But when I draw with this brush inside layer MASK - I reveal or hide parts of image with black or white brush! Here is the result.

Lastly, I scanned another piece of jeans, and used it for top and bottom. That's all! Thanks for reading!
