Your PSD file didn't open so I just took a screen shot of the above.
Using the pen tool, I drew a white, 3 pt stroke corner to corner and then curved the line.
Them I rasterized the layer with the line, reduced the opacity to about 58%, and added a drop shadow.
Maybe this isn't the proper way to do it but it seemed to work. You can play with some embossing as well....

What difference can you see here in the original graphic between A, the top, and B, the bottom?

There is a color variation between the gradients applied to the upper and lower halves of the graphic. This is done to suggest depth/dimension. I suspect that the gradients were applied separately. This little "leaflike" graphic is a bit more challenging than you might expect.

I wish I could see the original graphic instead of a 155px x 89px example in the PSD file.
