1. Open a new document. W: 365, H: 110
2. Search a nice render and paste (Ctrl + V) it in your new document. If it's to large, resize it with Ctrl + T
3. Pick 2 colors from your render. You can use the Eyedropper Tool. One color on the foreground and one on the background.
4. Now you got 2 layers. Choose a nice brush (you can download them above) and make a new layer.

8. Then duplicate all your brush layers (Ctrl + J).
9. Use gaussian blur on the duplicated layers with a 3,5 px setting.
Set the blending mode of all the duplicated layers to lighten or darken.
10. Duplicate your render. Use gaussian blur on the duplicated render. Then go to edit -> fade gaussian blur.
Set the blending mode to darken or lighten and the opacity to whatever you like.
11. Now select your background layer (Ctrl Click). Make a new layer and make sure that it stand above all your other layers.
Go stand on your new layer and go to edit -> stroke. Use a 1 px black stroke.
12. Duplicate your stroke layer. Use an 3.5 px gaussian blur on it. Set the duplicated layer under the real stroke layer
13. The Text! You can use your own style if you want.
Choose a nice font and type your text. Use the gradient overlay you used on your brush layers.
Then set a nice 1 px black stroke. You can play with the settings if you like.
14. Duplicate your text layer. Slide your duplicated text layer up side down (Use Ctrl + T).
15. If you used the gradient overlay, set the reverse box on, and if you already used the reverse, then set it off. Set the opacity of the duplicated text layer to 40 % (Also you can use your own settings.)
16. Now you're done!
