1~ Open your image in PSP. Add a raster layer.

Turn off the visibility on what is now the top layer ( your image ).
While still on the bottom layer (blank), fill with your lighter color.
Go Adjust, Add Noise, and add noise , Random , 10% , monochrome and no checks in the boxes.
Apply FM Tile Tools, Blend Emboss at the default setting. Turn the visibility back on the top layer.
