Help!

I can't remember how I made this icon (using PSP9)...


surfgirl83 asked how I made this icon: Image hosted by Photobucket.com

The problem is, although I save all my icons in .psp format, I did whatever I did to this one, then merged it and played around with the colour balance. Here's what I can remember:

I duplicated the base, I think I desaturated it to around -50, and then masked it out so only the background was desaturated. Then I played around with the colouring.

I'm thinking maybe I did the good old blue exclusion, brown multiply. Then obviously I merged and changed the colour balance. I've tried to remake it, but I can't get anything close.

Can anyone help? (and yes, next time I will be duplicating before I merge the image ^-^)
