Then, duplicate the text layer and clear its layer style. To do this, right click on the duplicated text layer in the Layers Palette and choose "Clear Layer Style" from the menu.Then drag so it is just above the background layer but below the original text layer in the Layers Palette. Change the duplicated text layers color to 072873.

Next, while on the duplicated text layer in the Layers Palette, hold in the "Alt" key on your keyboard and press the down arrow key once then let go of the "Alt" key and press the left arrow key once. Do this a few times to get the below effect.

Duplicate the very top (original) text layer and clear its layer style as shown in step 14 and change the color to White. Then rasterize the white text layer.

Next, "Ctrl" click the white text layer in the Layers Palette to create a selection. Now go to "Select" then "Modify" then "Contract" by 1 pixel. Go to the main menu once again and choose "Select" then "Inverse". Lastly, "Edit" then "Cut".

Using the "Pen Tool" draw the below shape with white as your color.

Then "Ctrl" click the new shape layer in the Layers Palette. Be certain that you have the top white text layer selected in the Layers Palette, then go to "Edit" then "Cut". Turn the Fill down to 32% and your done. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
