Step 2 Making Background. Go to Menu > Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options and use the settings below. You can also access Blending Options with two faster ways.

Step 3: So now we right-click on the layer and choose Blending Options to start adding styles. First we add a drop shadow to lift the letters off the background and then an inner shadow.

Photoshop brushes provide a quick and easy way to add a handmade look to your designs.Some of the most popular brushes are watercolors, acrylics, and other types of paint. Transforming traditional art media into a digital form allows us to give our work a welcoming personal touch. In this tutorial, we will show you how to use different Photoshop brushes to create a watercolor text effect . Let's get started.
