You can start by prepping your base. For this Icon I sharpened the image, then duplicated the layer and set the layer mode to Screen 52%. But you can do what ever you like.
Step One: Select the Flood Fill Tool: Use a light blue colour such as #c2e4f8 Soft Light 50% (preview)
Step Two: Select the Flood Fill tool: This time use a light grey colour, I used: #d2d2d2: Burn 100% (preview)
Step Three: Select the Flood Fill tool: Choose a dark navy blue colour, I used #000138: Exclusion 45%(preview)
Step Four: Layers>>New Adjustment Layer>>Colour Balance:
Midtones: 30,15,0
Shadow: -30,11,25
Highlights: 6,0,-15 (preview)
Step Five: Layers>>New Adjustment Layer>>Hue/Saturation/Lightness: set saturation +26 (preview)
Step Six: Select the Flood Fill tool: Choose a light blue colour that's a little bit darker then the colour used in Step One. I chose #b1cff7: Burn 64%(preview)
Step Seven: Select the Flood Fill tool again, this time use the same colour you used for Step One: #c2e4f8 Soft Light 34%(preview)
Lastly, you can add text, textures and whatever you want =](preview)
Remember, this tutorial completely depends on the picture you use. Different pictures will have different outcomes, you can play around with each of the steps to get the look you want
