1. Open a new image (16 Million Colors) I used 250 x 90 for mine, but that is up to the person.
2. Foreground to desired color of text. (I used Purple)
3. Add text and de-select.

7. Add text over the existing mess (*SMILE*) DO NOT DE-SELECT.

8. Foreground stays the same color (I use purple), Back ground to a color of your choice. (I used gold). 9. Fill Tool, Tolerance:175 Style:Linear.

10. Click Image>Special Effects>Chisel Size:5, Transparent. OK

Variation:

Make it transparent by picking up the light grey color between the letters.. then:

Select the background with the magic wand, feather set to 6
Fill the color in using the flood tool
Set the light grey you picked up to the background color on the color palette.
Save as a transparency.
