13. Now time to organize our layers! To make it easiest, name each layer to what it is like shown. Then, you must position the layers in proper order (like shown). For example, the head layer needs to be above the body layer.

14. Now for the fun part. With the ‘head’ layer selected go into blending options and add these settings:
Inner Glow:

19. Your ‘head’ layer should have the styles applied. To give the same styles to every layer quick and easily right click the text portion of the ‘head’ layer (directly to the right of the layer preview box) and click ‘copy layer style’. Then go to every other layer and right click in the same place and select ‘paste layer style’. Here is what you should have.

20. To give the shovel more of a darker effect, simply go into the blending options for the ’spade’ layer and apply a darker gradient that what was shown earlier. I used #959595 instead of #dcdcdc.
