step 16
Go ahead and double click that layer to bring up the blending options. Add a gradient overlay with these settings. Play around with it if it doesn’t look right. It should though!

step 17
This next step I added a bit of text, the font is “Argus Medium” you can use what ever you wish. Place it like so.

step 18
Now what we need to do is select that text. We are looking at the layers. If you have text layers like me you will need to ctrl + click the first thumbnail one then shift + ctrl + click the second thumbnail. If you only have only text layer simply ctrl + click the text layer’s thumbnail. You’re text should now be highlighted.

step 19
Now what we need to do is expand that selection so go to select > modify > expand. Enter 3px and hit ok.

step 20
Now, with your selection still active, select your fern (leafy thing) layer and hit delete do the same for your star layer. It makes it stand out a little, should look like this.
