Icon made in: Adobe Photoshop CS


>

1. Duplicate your base and set it to SOFT LIGHT 100%. Press Ctrl+A to select the new layer, then go to FILTER > BLUR > GAUSSIAN BLUR and set the radius to 1.0. Play with the radius until you get a result that you like.


>

2. Slap on this light texture by
silverqe, SOFT LIGHT 100%


>

3. Use the original base again and set it to SOFT LIGHT 75% on the icon.


>

4. Slap on this dark pink colour layer (#9F5073), SOFT LIGHT 78%.


>

5. Apply on this texture by
silverqe and set it to SOFT LIGHT 75%.


>

6. Slap onto the original base ^^" SOFT LIGHT 100%.


>

7. Crop a little bit of Karen from the original base and use the move tool and drag it on the very left of the icon (like I did *points above*)


>

8. Now to make the left small part a little brightened and not so smudged or dark, use the small bit cropped Karen again, dragged it to the very left and set it to OVERLAY 100%.


>

9. Apply this pattern by
77words onto the icon and use the move tool and drag it to where I placed mine *points above*


>

10. Use this black colour layer (#000000) and set it to SATURATION 75%. Use the eraser tool and erase the right side of the icon. So only the small cropped part of Karen on the left and the pattern is saturated.


>

11. Slap this light texture on and set it to SCREEN 100%.

Add tiny text and border, then you're done!
