4. Select Filter > Distort > Diffuse Glow and adjust settings: Grainness 6, Glow 5, Clear 13 (or as desired).
5. Invert the top layer again by pressing Control - I again and reduce opacity to around 50-55% (or as desired).
6. In the layers palette click on the Create Adjustment layer icon and select Hue/Saturation from drop down menu. In the dialogue box select Colorize and make the following settings with sliders: Hue +38, Saturation +18, Lightness -11 ( or as desired). Click OK.
