4. Create a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N), fill it with white, set its Opacity to 30% and go to Filter-> Texture -> Grain and apply these settings.

5. Create another new layer and fill it with a dull brownish color. I used #A7905A. Set its Opacity to 50% and the blending mode to Vivid Light. You should now have something like this.
