Then Go to Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur and enter 9 for the Raduis value.And rename the layer as “blur 2”

Step 9:

Select both blur layers then go to Layer -> Merge Layers, and rename the merged layer to “Blur”.

After that Go to Edit -> Transform -> Rotate, and rotate the blurred part as below, then press Enter.

Step 10:

Duplicate the “blur” layer and move it so that you have blur placed over each letter. Then, select all the Blur layers and merge them (Layer -> Merge Layers).

Step 11:

Ctrl + Click the copy text layer’s thumbnail (icon) to create a selection, then go to Select > Inverse to invert the selection.

Step 15:

Go to Edit -> Transform -> Scale, and scale the text down vertically. Don’t forget to press Enter after you do so.

Step 16:

Make sure that the original text layer is selected (active), and click the “Lock transparent pixels” icon in the Layers panel. Set the Foreground color to BLACK and pick the Paint Bucket Tool. Un-check the Contiguous box in the Options bar then fill the white part with the Foreground color.
