How to make
 from this.



Note that I tried my best to recreate this icon, but it isn't exactly the same. Very close, though. You probably wouldn't even notice the difference unless you saw them side-by-side.

I have PS 5.0. Yes. 5.0. So this should work for you.

Okay. First, crop your base.

Next, duplicate it and set it on soft light. Duplicate that layer three more times, keeping it on soft light, so your layers look like this:
Background copy 4- Soft Light
Background copy 3- Soft Light
Background copy 2- Soft Light
Background copy 1- Soft Light
Background- Normal



Now make a new layer. (shift + ctrl + n) Fill it with a light peach color. I used this. Set it on Multiply.



Next, make another new layer. Using the rectangular marquee tool, make a slim rectangle on the left side of your base.  Fill it with a darkish turquoise color, and set it on Color Burn.  Then make another new layer.  Make another slim rectangle, this time going horizontal on your picture. Make it as big as you'd like. Now fill it with a darkish orange, and set it on Screen.



Okay. Now make a new layer, and draw a white squiggly dotted line, (you can find out how here, a tutorial by noregrets722 =D), or use a brush, over by the side of the icon, over the blueish green line.  After that, type whatever you want on the icon, anywhere. I put a & in Century Gothic, size 30. Flatten the image, and resize it to 80x80.



Paste it onto here.:
 (made by me, feel free to use without credit.)

And voila! You're done! =D

I posted several icons like this earlier, here's the post.

Feel free to friend this journal!

If this is any help to you, please tell me! And I'd love to see what you've made! =D
