Start with create a new document in 250x250 px.
Create a text in whatever font you want. Use light grey colour. Change name on the text layer to “ice text”

Go to blending options and use these settings:

Rasterize the layer. Now it should look like this:

Make a new layer and put the new layer under the “ice text” layer. And make it so it look like this:

Click on the “ice text” layer and put the 2 layers together (Ctrl+E). Change the name on the layer to “ice text”.

Ctrl+M and change the curves on the ”ice text” layer.

Ctrl+U and use this settings.

Now we are going to add some inner glow into the text. Go to blending optitions and use this settings:

You can choose which colour you like but I use a kind of light colour. Now it should look like this:

Now we have come to the part when we are going make the ice. Hold ctrl and click on the “ice text” layer. Click on channels and find a button with the name save selection as channel, the name will have the name “alpha 1”.

Click Ctrl+D to deselect. And now you are going to do some stuff in filter.

Filter>Brush Strokes>Splatter and use:
Spray Radius: 15
Smoothness: 12

Filter>Artistic>Paint Daubs and use:

Brush Type: Simple

Now it should look like this;

Select the “alpha 1” layer. Go to Select>modify>contract, and make the settings so it looks suitable. Click on save selection as channel so alpha 2 been created.

Filter>Brush Strokes>Spatter again and this time you use:

Spray Radius: 11
Smoothness: 7

Filter>Artistic>Paint Daubs and use::

Brush Type: Simple

Ctrl and click on the alpha 2 layer. Click on the alpha 1 layer and fill the selection with black so it look like this:

Now we are going to rotate the layer.

Image>Rotate>90 CCW
Filter>Stylize>Wind

Now should the “alpha 1” layer look like this:

Filter>Sketch>Plaster:
Image Balance: 20
Smoothness: 2

Filter>Stylize>Wind:

Direction: From the Left

Image>rotate> 90 CW

Hold Ctrl and click on the “alpha 1” layer to load the selection. Go back to layers palleten and make a new layer and make it over the ”ice text” layer. Fill the selection with white colour and now you are finish. I Hope you enjoyed the tutorial.
