This work is done with Photoshop Elements 7.0 .

Third, add a new layer and add cloud effect on it. Then go to filter, sketch and choose chrome.
3
Fourth, make that layer setting color dodge.

6
Seventh, go to filter, select artictic and choose plastic wrap for the text.

11

Results
Pretty impressive looking background image. To further editing I recommend using some kind of styling for the text. In CS versions this is lot’s of easier to be dealt with rather than Elements.
