I'd really love to know how 38 and 46 are made - how you get them so small but so, so very clear?
These are truly stunning.
Not snagging any, but they are so, so gorgeous.

Thank you! ♥ I'm glad you like them. I didn't really do anything special to them actually--let's see. For the Confidence icon, I cut out the background on the larger screencap, not the smaller one, and to heighten the contrast a bit I simply duplicated that layer on soft light and added shadows using a soft light layer with round brush strokes in black. For the yellow icon, the same thing, although I made it slightly sharper with a duplicate on Filter > Artistic > Paint Daubs, set to 32% opacity.

I can post up a tutorial (really just the list of steps and layers though lol) if you'd like, although they are kind of very simple and only a few layers each :">
