Duplicate your base and set it to Screen 50%
Step 3:
Duplicate your base, bring it to the top and set it to Soft Light 50%
Step 4:
New layer (CTRL+SHIFT+N, click okay), floodfill with #FF8CAE and set it to Soft Light 50%
Step 5:
Add this gradient (by me) and set it to Color Burn 100%
Step 6:
Add this gradient (by me) and set it to Color Burn 50%
Step 7:
