Duplicate the unresized image once or twice until its filled up. Merge the images (ctrl + e) into a single layer. Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur at 2.0 pixels. And I usually go with pasting and sometimes a brush here and there. Filters work alot better though, imo.

I actually don't bother with making the background seperate of the render. Although, an easy and pretty good place to start is just smudging duplicates of the render (re-sized or otherwise, whatever your fancy).
