Other examples:

 (My husband and I <333)

1. Duplicate your base twice. Set the first to Overlay 100% (this might have to be skipped or adjusted, depending on your image), and desaturate the second one. Set that to Soft Light 100%.

2. Fill a new layer with a light tan and set that to Multiply 100%.

3. Fill a new layer with a light grey and set it to Color Burn 100%.

4. New Selective Color Layer:

RED: -100, 0, 100, 0
YELLOW: 100, 0, -100, 0
NEUTRALS: 5, 0, 5, 0

5. New Selective Color Layer:

RED: -100, 0, 100, 0
YELLOW: 100, 0, -100, 0

6. New Curves Layer:

Input: 113
Output: 145

And there you go! 

This tutorial is really just a guide, don't copy it exactly, because I know for a fact, it won't work for every image. (I should know, I tried tons of them before I found some that worked). 

I'd like to see you what you guys come up with, so feel free to show me!
