Quick tutorial.
Using Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7, I created these icons and this tutorial by carefully monitoring my steps. The brushes, gradients, et al are not mine and if they are yours but left uncredited, please accept my apologies, leave a note and I will add credit to the post :) The text is a joke between my brother & I about a marshmallow film (don't ask ;)) and the cap is from this website of a show called Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar. There aren't many things you'll find different to other tutorials here except a couple of handy shortcuts perhaps.
How to go from this:
To this:
Original Cap.
Crop >> Resize to 100x100.
Duplicate >> Copy of Background >> Sharpen More >> Hard Light.
Flood fill: 60% Multiply, #F8C2B1.
Flood fill: 50% Lighten, #946671.
Flood fill: 100% Soft Light, #526B2B.
Flood fill: 50% Overlay, #EF6B9D.
Flood fill: 100% Burn, #A4DDF4.
Copy brush >> Paste as new layer >> 75% opacity.
Lighten erasing what you don't want on his face
(a quick way to do this is use the freehand tool, select the area and delete).
Paste gradient as new layer >> Set at 50% Screen.
Use the Draw tool for a border (single line, close path).
"How ya doin'" >> 'Boxylady font' courtesy of crumblingwalls, size 6, colour #B98490 from the image itself.
"Jim" >> 'Mumblypegs font', on caps lock, size 12, colour #B98490 from the image itself.
Stamp brush over text, colour #CB7888, set to Multiply 20%.
Et voila!
