step 23: Again set layer blending options to Darken

(Right click on the layer in the layers window and click Blending Options

Note: Most of the steps i repeated are there for the sake of randomness to make the effect different,
you can do the repeat as many times as you want or you can do it not at all to get
the desired effect. =P
