1. Create a background for the ice text effect in Photoshop

The first thing we need to do is create the background for the ice text effect in Photoshop. Let's do it through the following steps.

Step 1: Create a new document with size 1000 x 650 px

Step 2: On the toolbar, select the Rectangle Tool and create a rectangle that covers the bottom part of the document. Rename the rectangle layer to Ground.

Step 3: Create another rectangle covering the top part and rename this layer to Back.

Step 4: Double-click on the Ground layer to apply the following Layer Styles:

In the Layer Style window select Inner Shadow with the following settings:

Blend Mode: Linear Burn

Color: #9cb0be

Opacity: 15%

Size: 250

Step 5: Continue to select Gradient Overlay and set the following parameters:

Tick the Dither box

Blend Mode: Linear Burn

Scale: 150%

Create a transparent gradient in Gradient with black color.

Step 6: Click the + icon next to the Gradient Overlay tab to add another Gradient Overlay effect with the following settings:

Tick the Dither box.

Tick the Reverse box.

In Gradient, use a gradient with one end being the color code #9dc6e4 and the other end being the code #275672. To get a blue gradient like the sky.

Step 7: Click back on the first Gradient Overlay tab, then click and drag inside the document to move the gradient so that the light is near the top of the rectangle.

The first rectangle should now look like this.

2. How to copy and paste Layer Style for ice text effect in Photoshop

Step 1: Right-click on the Ground layer, select Copy Layer Style, then right-click on the Back layer and select Paste Layer Style.

Double-click the Back layer to uncheck the Reverse box in the second Gradient Overlay effect.

Step 2: This will style the 2 rectangles as shown in the image. Move the layers to the appropriate position.

Step 1: Click the Create new fill or adjustment layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel and select Hue/Saturation.

Step 2: Change the Hue to -3, Saturation to -25 and Lightness to -20.

Step 4: Change the Blend Mode of the Gradient layer to Soft Light.

Step 5: Place the Textures - Golds, Whites, And Greys image on top of all layers, rename the layer to BG Texture and resize it if needed. You can download Textures - Golds, Whites, And Greys here.

Step 6: On the menu bar, select Image => Adjustments => Desaturate, and change the Blend Mode of the BG Texture layer to Soft Light.
