I must know...how do you get your colors so stark and bright?? I can't get mine all bright and pretty.

It really depends on the icon. I use a fair amount of screen layers (usually at least 1 on every icon). I think what really gets it bright with that contrast is I use a light blue layer on burn and then on top of that a light brown layer on overlay (depending on the image, with varied opacities. Usually I bring the overlay layer down to like 70ish and the same with the burn layer).

Ya know, I used to do something similar to that. I haven't used that method in awhile. However, mine looked very, very dull when I did that, not at all bright like yours. Hmmmm. I use some soft light layers - usually with a tealish color, sometimes green or pink. I also sometimes use this certain blue texture and/or orange-y texture on multiply.

I guess I'll just have to play more. I'm always picking up new methods. Thanks.

No problem. :) I think I'm going to end up doing a tutorial on #24 sometime soon since someone requested it, so when I do that, it can give you a better idea of how I get my colors like that.
