We've got the above picture resized to 100x100. I also used the Unsharp Mask set on Radius - 1.00, Strength - 50, and Clipping - 3. Then I went to Color > Adjust > Brightness/Contrast and set it on Brightness = 0 and Contrast = 25. Now the picture looks better to me.

Next I add a pink/purple gradient that I'm fond of.

Now I'm adding a brush on top of that layer.

And we're finished. You can add text if you like, but I prefer it this way. Hope everything worked out for you, ask questions if you need to.
