As ofnuts says you can get many images, resouces such as brushes, patterns, all sorts of scripts that will generate effects from the internet. Some will just get copied and pasted, scripts you might enter a few variables and get a result.
Do use as many layers as required and save your work frequently as a gimp xcf file, that saves layers, text as text and paths, selections, all sorts that you lose exporting as png or jpeg.
That will get you started but not really original, just assembled.
This one as an example, might not be much good but all mine and took only a few minutes.
Fractal flowers generated in jwildfire, copied, pasted, resized...etc in gimp.
Some drawing ( a path) filled with a gimp pattern.
The background, a Gimp gradient
My brush stamp, the only thing not new, which I made in Inkscape long ago.
All on their own layers so I can easily edit in the future.
best of luck
