Start with any texture you want. Now copy it as a new layer by draging the layer icon down to the new layer icon next to the trash icon in the layers dialog box.
	Select the new layer and blur it by going to FILTER/BLUR/GAUSSIAN BLUR. Select a blur amount to your liking, mines was at 2.0.
	Go back to your first layer. Using the font tool (marching ants on) type out your text, DO NOT click it down or deselect it. Just save the selection (SELECT/SAVE SELECTION/OK) and once it is saved, press SLECTION/NONE so you see only your background.
	Go back to your background layer and SELECT/LOAD SELECTION/#5 (an outline of the text you created will appear). Copy it (CTRL+C), click on the second layer you already created, and paste (CTRL+V). You should now have your text there, filled with the pattern you copied in step 2.
	To create the 3D effect I used the Carve filter from Alien Skin. If you do not have these set of filters, get them. They will save you hours of time. You may also use another filter (like emboss) to create a similar effect.
	To make the shadow, I used the Drop Shadow filter from Alien Skin. If you do not have this, just follow my other tutorial on how to create a drop shadow. I then just switched the white background with the blurred grafic from step two. When all is done, save it and you are finished.
