2. Fill the background with Dark Blue[ we used #141A23

 

3. Create a new layer, and grab the marquee tool

Notice from m^e:

In future at least make sure that you mention which software you're using for creating these effects. Not really good to leave the others groping in the blind, isn't it ?

Wow, that's pretty sweet, man. I'd try it if I had decent editing software installed on my machine. But I'll just "ooh" and "aah" over yours. Good job.
