The first step is to get our texture into photoshop. Here's another good use for all those background images you've been saving for the web. Open a background file you'd like to use as a texture, select "all", and choose "edit/define pattern".
Now that texture is saved in Photoshop, and when you use the "edit/fill" command, choosing "pattern", "100%", and "normal", you can fill any size area you'd like, it will tile it normally. What you want to do is fill a selection exactly the same size as your object, in a layer above it. It should completely block the images underneath it. Now you adjust the mode of that layer.
