I have tutorial for PSP 8. I hope you understand and if you have questions feel free to ask!

I'll be using this pic from Fresh-Faces.ORG

I've cropped my image to 100x100 and sharpened.

Now copy this image and just simply paste it over the original!



Now fill this in with #19202F and set the blend mode to color legacy. It's blue. Now paste that same image
again and set the blend mode to overlay and merge the layers.

Now add a gradient of any colors and set the blend mode to screen. I used this gradient:

Now copy the background layer and paste it over raster layer 1 and set the blend mode to softlight (or overlay).



Add a new layer and fill it with #19202F and set the blend mode to softlight.


Add another layer and fill it with the same blue color and set the blend mode to exclusion and merge the layers.

I now add a border icon brush from Hybrid-Genesis.Net and add some small text on the left.
