Wow! You have been learning all kinds of neat skills to put into your icons.
I really like the two icons you put in this post :)
Did you put some kind of filter on the Rose picture, it looks really neat.
Your splatter brush really adds to both of these icons.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks! ^_^ Yeah, kaowyn occasionally puts tutorials up at secretly_obsess, and that's where I learned about filter layers (dup the layer and set to burn, dodge, screen, hard light, etc., and adjust the transparency). If you want to try it, I wrote out the how-to below. For the custom brush, you could just use any brush to draw around the edges.

Here's how:
I use the GIMP, a free, opensource PhotoShop-type program.
Take the original image, and crop it ( ... )

Ooh, thank you! I will have to try it, it looks pretty fun :)
I have GIMP on my computer and it looks neat from the little bit of tinkering I did with it.
Thanks!
