Requested by. . . (Nobody requested this particular one, but I liked how it turned out so I thought I'd do a tutorial on it.)
Open up your base. Resize, crop, etc.
Add this texture by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
light_ofmy_life, and set it to soft light 100% opacity.
Add a curves layer, and input these settings: RGB: output: 145, input: 109; red: output: 137, input: 114; green: output: 133, input: 128; blue: output: 135, input: 114. (I believe input is x and output is y.)
Paint over Arwen's dress with ffffff. Set this layer to soft light 30% opacity.
Duplicate the base, and bring it to the top. Set it to color 100% opacity. Erase most of the base except for Arwen and Aragorn. I did this step because I didn't like the weird coloring that the curves layer did to the couple.
Add this base byblame, and set it to soft light 100% opacity. This layer gives the icon some depth and color not to mention more foliage. :D Erase the parts covering the bridge and Arwen and Aragorn.
Add a brightness-contrast layer, and input these settings: brightness: 20, contrast: 20. Voila! There you have it!
