Step 2: Now Go to Filter>Texture>Craquelure.

Apply these setting which I given below:

Step 3: Now create a new layer called ‘radial gradient’. Fill your canvas with a radial gradient (Black-white) from the center of your canvas to the edge.

Then reduce this layer’s opacity to 50% & set Blending mode to “Overlay”.

Step 4: Create some centered text. I wrote wordpressApi (Comic Sans MS, Bold, 72pt, black).

Then apply the layer styles shown below: inner glow, bevel emboss and gradient overlay:

Now your image looking like this:

Step 5: Now duplicate your text layer, moving the duplicate below the original. Go to layer>rasterize>type and rename the layer to ‘green type’.

Set your foreground color to 61da0c and then press Ctrl+ left click on your ‘green type’ layer’s thumbnail to select only the data on this layer. Then go to edit>fill>foreground color and press OK.

Then deselect and use your keyboard cursor to shift your green text 5 px to the right.

Step 6: Duplicate your green type layer twice (so you have a total of 3 green type layers).

Then select your bottom most one and apply a 20px gaussian blur (the image below has the 2 green type layers above this one hidden):

Step 7: Reduce the opacity of your 20px gaussian blurred layer to 80%. Then use a large, soft eraser brush (100% opacity) to brush away the parts of the glow that are on the left sides of your text. You want to give the impression that the glow is coming only from the right of the letters:

Step 8: Repeat the last 2 steps on your next ‘green type’ layer, this time giving it a gaussian blur of 10px. Remember to erase away relevant parts of your glow:

Step 9: Now for your final top ‘green type’ layer apply a 2 px gaussian blur. There is no need to erase any of this layer…

Step 10: Set your foreground color to #ccffcc. Create a new layer called ‘glow circles’ . Then select the soft rounded Brush, and create some circles around the text.

Step 11: Now make some blur glow circles layer. Go to filter>blur>Gaussian blur & apply 8 px gaussian blur.

Step 12: Now Go to Layer>Layer Stile>Blending Options & apply Outer Glow to glow circles layer.

Here’s my settings:

Here’s my final result:
