Ok. Now select menu option Layer > Layer Style > Outer Glow with next parameters: Color-White (#FFFFFF), Blend Mode-Pin Light, Opacity-66%, Sphere-0%, Size-4%, Contour-half round, Range-50% and Jitter-0%.

Choose Layer > Layer Style > Bevel and Emboss with: Style-Pillow Emboss, Technique: Smooth, Depth: 281%, Size-3%, Soften: 0%, Glass Contour: Cove-Deep, Highlight Mode-Opacity: 62%, Shadow Mode-Opacity: 42%.

Now Layer > Layer Style > Satin, Layer > Layer Style > Color Overlay, Layer > Layer Style > Stroke with default parameters.
