The Back Ground
Steps:
1. First, we create a new file with 500px as the width and 250px as the height. Set the colors: any color and black. Make sure the colored one is on top. I used this color. #00aeef

The Glass Effect:
16. Now, click the pen tool as indicated.

The Pen Tool is like the Line Tool from MS Paint. But here, you click on the next location, rather than dragging it.

17. Make an odd shaped box using the pen tool.

Right-Click the formed shape, then click Make Selection then click OK.

18. Copy the part of the image that's high-lighted by the odd shaped box by pressing, Ctrl+C. Then create a new file with 511px and 250px as you width and height.
19. Paste the one you copied, on to the new file.
Then, right-click on its layer from the Layers Palette and click on blending options.

21. Repeat steps 17-20 for the remaining parts of the background image we made earlier.
22. Create a New Layer, below everything else except the background.

23. Click on Layer 1, and press Ctrl+E to merge it with the new layer. Merge the rest of the layers with the New Layer we made in step 22.
24. We now have a single image.
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd222/jag_thug24/tut-21.jpg
But, of course having a white background, would not produce a good effect. So we delete the Background Layer. Right-Click on it then click on Delete Layer.
25. Save the image as a .PNG File.
