Tutorial time. We'll be making this icon:
-->
1) Crop your base (sharpen if you need to; I didn't). Then duplicate your base and set it on screen at 100% opacity.
-->
2) Create two new layers. Flood fill the first with #041e41 and set it on exclusion at 100% opacity. Flood fill the second with #bdd9ff and set it to color burn at about 30% opacity. Then duplicate your base and drag it above all your layers, set it to soft light at 100% opacity.
-->
3) Now, take
texture, which is just a blurred version of
texture by
unmasked_icons. Set that on soft light at 100% opacity. Then you can add text, ect. And you're done. I love comments. x)
