Power Tip: If you need to edit the filler texture image or if you don’t like how it looks within the letter, you can still change it! Just choose the Move Tool (V) & drag over with your texture layer selected. Also, if you need to resize the texture image select Edit>Transform to resize it.
Step 7
Now, select the Background layer & fill with a Gradient Tool (G). I used Linear Gradient & the colors for the two stops are as prescribed in the screenshot. Drag the gradient tool diagonally from bottom to top.
Step 8
Pressing down Shift key select all the layers in the Layer Palette except the background layer & Link all of them. Also make sure to link the Layer Mask thumbnails with their corresponding layer thumbnails by clicking once between them.

Step 9
Now, we will do the reflection of our letter “C”. For that, select all the linked layers & duplicate them.
Step10
Merge all the duplicated layers & name it Reflection.
Step 11
On the Reflection layer, go to Edit>Transform>Flip Vertical & place it beneath the letter “C”. Adjust its perspective if the need be.
Step 12
The next step is to add a layer mask to the duplicate layer. To do this simply click on the add layer mask button in the layers palette.
Now pick the Gradient Tool (G) and draw a gradient (black to white) in the direction from bottom to mid top.
Finally just reduce the opacity of the duplicate layer and you are all done. I reduced the opacity to 20% , there is no golden rule about the opacity % , just play with the opacity setting & choose the one that suits your image.
Step 13
Finally, with the Type Tool, I wrote the words “for creativity” with the settings as shown in the Character Palette.
The font used is Larissa & can be downloaded from here. I also rotated the words a bit via Edit>Transform. Then I applied the layer style, as shown in the screenshots below.
Step 14
To add a bit of finishing touch, I added Outer Glow to the Vector Smart Object layer, as shown.
And, that’s how my Layers palette in end & final image looks like.
