In this quick tutorial we will show you how to create a royal gold text effect
using layer styles in Photoshop.

Let’s get started!

Step 1

First create a new .PSD document, 600 x 400 pixels in RGB mode,
72 DPI with any background color.

Now prepare your assets.
Install the Evanescent font onto your computer and open both .PAT files

Step 2

Go to Menu > Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options and use the settings below.
You can also access Blending Options by double clicking on the layer in your layers menu.
The other way is to right click on the layer in your layers menu and choose Blending Options.
When you are done with all the settings below,
don’t forget to hit "OK" in the Blending Options window.

Step 3

Now we can start applying our text effect.
First choose the type tool and change font to evanescent,
Now type your text somewhere in the center of the image.
You can write any word, but in this tutorial I’ll use "TASHI"

Step 4

We are almost there. Now we need to duplicate our text layer.
Select the text layer in layer menu and go to Menu > Layer > Duplicate layer and name it as you wish.
Now go to Menu > Layer > Layer Style > Clear Layer Style
as we will make different style for this layer.
Finally, go to Menu > Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options and use
the settings below on our text.
When you are done with all the settings below,
don’t forget to hit "OK" in the Blending Options window.
