Hello Cynthia,
Thank you! I placed the first texture over image and decreased the opacity(so I could see butterfly and flower) and applied a mask so that I could brush texture off the subject. I then increased opacity and used a soft brush to brush the texture on in some areas and off in others, using different opacity levels with the brush. I did some dodging and burning to the subject and then applied a second texture in 'overlay' mode. I then removed the texture (keeping the hues/tones of the texture) by choosing the subject with the lasso tool then making sure I was on the 'texture' layer I choose Filter-->Blur-->Average and that removes any texture over the subject but keeps the tones of that texture to help blend. (I use latest version of CC/PS). I hope that helps!
