Repeat this steps several times. I have done it 10 times, and this is my result

Now you can leave your text in this way or you can add some layer styles.
Select the first layer ( the one above the background layer )

So add this layer styles on all layers except background layer and " DIGITAL copy 10 " - this
is my layer name.

It will be good if you will create a new layer style , after that you can apply the same layer
styles to all the layers except top and bottom layer.
This is my result

Now select the top layer , from your layer palette ( in my case the name of the layer is
DIGITAL copy 10 )

And add the following layer styles

Normally you should have the pattern settings
