Going from

Step 1: Sharpen the image once. Duplicate it and set it on Screen, 100%. Duplicate the new layer, desaturate, and set it to Soft Light, 50%.


Step 2: Set this gradient on Color Burn, 100%.



Step 3: Set this texture by awmpdotnet on Hard Light, 100%. Mask out the areas that cover her face.



Step 4: Add a white border brush. Or, like I did, fill a new layer with white, and simply mask out different box areas with different opacities.


Step 5: Set this gradient on Color Burn, 100%.



Step 6: Use a soft round white brush on the top left color.


Step 7: Add a light gray border.


Step 8: Add tiny text. I used Times New Roman, 4 pt, 600 tracking, 40% black.


Done! Like the last tutorial, here are some quick variations. First, flatten the image.


New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation > > Soft Light > Colorize > 130, 40, +20


Color Balance: -60, 10, 20


Variations: More Green, More Yellow


New Fill Layer > Gradient > Soft Light > Pastels

Let me know how it works out for you.
