Pimp My Text: Bling Bling With Photoshop » Web Design » SitePoint Blogs Last week I was watching the opening credits of “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here” and I noticed the titles consist of bling bling text getting dropped into the jungle. I’ve also noticed quite a few ads on TV using bling text as Christmas approaches.

We now have the diamond covered look to the text. Apply a layer style to the layer, choose stroke. The important things here are: Position = Center Fill type: Gradient, choose the default copper setting Make the size 10
