This icon is a mystery to me xD

From what I remember, I duplicated the base and set it to soft light, then duplicated it again and set it to screen. Then I applied a black and white gradient map set to soft light. Then I upped the contrast (a lot). I'm 100% positive I used levels to adjust the light and the shadows! Then I used selective color and changed the blues, yellows, cyans and greens so that they were less blue and WAY more yellow. I don't think I did anything to the reds or magentas. After that I did a screen color fill layer with a REALLY dark purple-y color. & there is a texture set to screen in there but I never saved it and I don't know how I made it.
So in other words, I'm completely hopeless at this iconning business and I'm really sorry. THIS IS WHY ONE OF MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS IS TO SAVE EVERY PSD. :x
