First to make the border of the icon. Start with this image set to darken. (sorry, i dont remember who made it - if you know, please tell me so i can credit them).
Use the magic wand to delete the areas in the windows of the frame.
Make a new layer below the border layer and will it with orange (#f9a91f).
Paste this texture as a new layer at the between the two layers set to overlay.
Paste this texture as a new layer below your last one set to burn.
It should look something like this.
Create a new adjustment layer: Hue/Saturation/Brightness. Move the slider until you find a colour combination you like. In this case, it was 47. Lastly, make a mask layer for everything so far to delete the windows (or merge all the layers and delete the windows).
Now to prepare the image to go in the windows. As a new file brighten up the image.
New Adjustment Layer: Colour balance. For Midtones: -60, 10, 30
New Adjustment Layer: Hue/Saturation/Lightness. Saturation: 20
New Adjustment Layer: Brightness/Contrast Brightness:15, Contrast 45
New Layer filled with sky blue (#afbbf1) set to burn.
Copy and resize the image to place it behind the windows until you're happy with it.
