January 6: Dispersion (Technique Challenge)

Oh my gosh, biggest challenge ever! Even though I have Photoshop, if it hadn't been for the video (thank you!!), I could never have completed this. I am in awe of those who have come up with something using a different program … wow! To be honest, I'm not likely to go to this much trouble again, but I did learn more about layer masks for sure.
 
This took me a couple tries to get the right look but it turned out cool! Thanks for introducing me to something new :) I went for a more messy AJ/collage style for this one, definitely different for me!
 
I hope you can see that I tried very hard to replicate the dispersion technique. 6.5 hours I spent on this today.
@AnneofAlamo what do you think?

Here is my layout (this was a hard challenge - not totally happy with it, but I've already tried it a couple of times so it will stay like this):

Thanks for the great challenge! I've tried using this technique before in PSE, without success so loved seeing an easier way to create this awesome effect!
 
This was a real challenge and I LOVE it!!! I was pulling my hair out last night and decide to just come back to it. I dreamed about this technique and exactly what photo I should use. Finally I had a chance to sit down and scrap it tonight and I am so pleased with the result! Thank you for this amazing new technique!!

 
Here is mine, thank you for this fun challenge, I had to do a couple of work arounds probably not the best photo to choose but I think with practice this technique might just be a go to one for me. Thanks again :)
