Apply a Layer Style

From the styles palette, load the "Text Effects" styles set, then apply the "Chiseled Sky" style to your text.
Feel free to use another style if you prefer. The effect looks best with a 3D bevel. Don't include a drop shadow in the layer style. We will be adding our own cast shadow.
Currently the text looks like it's floating in space. We need a cast shadow to visually anchor it to the "ground."
