Steps

1. pick one of your pictures, and crop it into icon size. Here I pick a HP SS mione's promo photo, took from wizard_icontest
2. duplicate the base once, and Sharpen it once, and move the base up, until mione's eyes disapeer
3. duplicate the base once again, change the layer mode to Soft Light
4. create a Slective Color Layer：
    Reds （-10, 0 100, 0）
    Yellows （100, 0, -55, 0）
    Neutrals（0, 0 , -11, 0）

then set it to Screen
5. create a new layer, fill it with #8ECADA, set it to Soft Light, with Opacity 77%
6. create a new layer, fill it with #98C9F6, set it to Color Burn, with Opacity 51%
7. create a Hue/Saturation Layer：Master（0, 57, 0）
8. create a Color Balance Layer：（-28, 0 ,21）
9. create a Color Balance Layer：（-100, -13 ,6）
10. create a new layer, fill it with #FEF85F, set it to Soft Light
11. create a Slective Color Layer：
       Reds （-100, 100, 100, 100）
       Yellows （100, 50, -37, 0）
       Neutrals（35, 20, -45, 0）

15. create a Curves Layer：
       Green（one node：184, 187）
       Blue（one node：178, 137）

TIP：What is the PS Curves  "node"? And how to change it? （please see the TIP 1）
16. create a Color Balance Layer：（28, 14, 50）
17. create a Slective Color Layer：
       Cyans （55, -24, -62, -2）
       Blues （15, -10, 0, 0）
       Whites（0, 55, 13, 0）
       Blacks（0, 0, -15, 0）
18. drag this texture（made by lovelamp, and transform by me） to top, and set it to Screen
19. duplicate your base once again, drag it to top, and set it to Color Burn, with Opacity 16%
20. finally, you can finish it, or you can add some texture, brushes, text...whatever you like, it's all up to you^__^
       here I add this texture by lovelamp（believe me, on the top left of the window, there IS a image, save it~）, and add a tiny text brush, then transform my base and paste it to top
