Icon Tutorial
This is my first tutorial :)
How to go from this to
using PS7
From
to 
1. First I start off with the base from
foxsgrl17. You can sharpen it as much as you feel needed.
2. Then i duplicated it twice and put both on Screen 100%. ( If you have a light image it may only need one layer of screen)

3. Next I made a new layer and put this
(#031945)on exclusion.

4. Now i made another new layer and put in
(#FFE57C) on Color Burn 100%.

5. Then i made a new layer and put in
(#FFDCED) on Soft Light 100%.

6. Next i made ANOTHER new layer and put in this
gradient i made on Color Burn 100%.

7. Then i made another new layer and put in this
texture by
angry_kangaroo on Soft Light 100% ...i rotated it until i liked the position of it.

8. * Almost there :) * I made a new layer and used a white feathered brush to make a section for text.

9. Then i used CAC Pinafore text on size 14, and put it in the white space.

And now your done!!
