Step 10:
Now let's add some text, take the text tool and type your preferred text, I use the font Trebuchet MS with a size of 20.33pt with a left alignment. And apply the following blending options.
Then duplicate the layer, hold shift and press down 6 times again and change the text. do this until you reached your goal =)
Step 11:
Ctrl+Click Menu base layer again, go to this icon in the layers pallette 
(this icon is called Layer adjustment) and hit Color balance. Use the following values:
Change opacity of the color balance layer to 26% and the mode to Vivid light.
Now duplicate the color balance layer and change the opacity to 27% and the mode to Color dodge.
The last thing we have to do is add another adjustment layer, and choose levels, use the following settings.
The end result of this tutorial:
Since I think I overdid the blur a tiny bit I lowered the opacity of the blur layer which we made in step 3 to 69%, leaving us with the following result.
