I duplicated the image twice. I set the topmost layer to HARD LIGHT 50%, and the middle layer to SCREEN 50%. I merged all the layers.

I took this texture (made by lookslikerain_ ->
I went to Edit > Copy Merged, and I pasted it as a new layer on top of every other layer. I moved the top layer over to the left, and using the SELECTION tool, I cut out some of the extra areas. Then I desturated it, and I set it to SCREEN 100%.
I took this texture (made by ewanism) and I set it to LIGTEN 100%.
->
I added in some tiny text… and voila!
For anyone who's interested, I've just started an icon community. I'm looking for new, dedicated members - as well as anyone who knows a little about communities... I need all the help I can get. _elite_icons_
