Step 3

Apply the following layer styles. To access the layer styles window right click the layer and select blending options.






This is the result:



Step 4

Lastly add in some other text and a few snowflakes in the background. There are a few different snowflake designs available in the default custom shape pack that comes with Photoshop.
