Done in PSP8, but I'm sure it's convertable.

I first took this picture of Sharon Den Adel and resized and cropped it to 100x100. I also sharpened the picture and sharpened her eyes and lips a little more. Duplicated the base for later use as well.

I took this texture from colorfilter and set it to overlay at 100%

Used another texture from colorfilter and set it at softlight 100%.

Used yet another texture by colorfilter and set it this time to darken 100%.

Used this by _synergy and set it darken 60%.

I cropped a small piece (20x19) from the duplicated base I had saved earlier and mirrored it. I desaturated it to -70 (shift+h) and pasted it into the little box.

I used this templete from Mint Tea Graphics and set it to overlay at 35%.

I took the magic wand and put it around the box. I colored the black to be more fitting to the image. While it was selected, I also went to effects -> 3d effects -> drop shadow. Vertical set to 3 and horizontal set to -3, opacity 70%, and blur to 5.00. I clicked ok and went back with the same settings, but this time set vertical 1 and horizontal -5. Repeated it again at vertical -2, horizontal 1.

I'm not a fan of the small image's color, so I used this gradient from rough_draft___, selected the small image and used the copy tool, copying the gradient at 48% color.

I added some small text by ingenu0us, screen 100%.

I chose to increase my saturation, but other than that, you're done!
