Frost Part 2
Freeze your text and make it look like an ice cube with a frosted top and icicles.

This is a multiple page tutorial because there are 4 layers, each adding to the effect. Start on the first step.

Open the layer styles for the duplicate text layer. Change the texture to the Satin pattern, adjust the scale to about 150 or by eye. This will add a cracked ice type pattern to the text.

Now we are going to add another layer to act as the frosted topping. Duplicate the text layer again so you now have three text layers. Remove or disable the layer effects on the new top text layer, set the fill opacity to 100 and change the color to white if it isn't already.

Now we're going to use a quick edit mask and the paint brush to define a layer mask.

Hit the Q key to enter Quick mask mode and using a normal paint brush with soft edges, paint the area roughly you would like to frost.

Exit quick mask by hitting Q again, then inverse the selection (quick key Shift-Ctrl-I or menu Select>Inverse). Add a layer mask using this selected area.

(or Layer>Add Layer Mask)

Your text should resemble this.
