Icon Effect Five

Turn this:

Into this:


1. Open up/create your icon base. I started off with this of Alex Bledel.


2. Duplicate your base layer and set it on screen at 53%

3. Create a new layer and fill it with the colour #98E6FE and set this layer on colour burn on 100%

4. Create another new layer and fill it with the colour #F30089 and set this layer on saturation at 25%

5. Now if you want, you can create a colour bubble.
To do this, simply create a new layer and set it on screen at 100%, then select a feather brush (I chose 100px) and click somewhere on your icon.

6. Next, if you want, you can add text onto your icon. I added the text ''alex'' with the ''outer glow'' effect. (Right click on the text layer>>blending options>>outer glow)

And viola!
Here's my result!
