Good, time to create clouds background. Select the Brush Tool to load these brushes to make cloud prints on the canvas. Then create a new layer and make a couple of different cloud prints on the new layer with white color. Don't forget to reduce the real size of each brush to 90-100 px previously.

The next step, what you need to do to select the text shape. Press Ctrl+Left click on the text layer on the layer thumbnails to do it. Then you can delete text layer because we don't need it more. Use Ctrl+Shift+I to invert selected area and clear it with pressing Delete button. Deselect chosen area with Ctrl+D.
