That’s it: a deceptively simple design made possible by befriending the awesome Layers panel. We applied the Pink Fog effect to the entire image, for this design (notice in the image above that "Run," "The," and "World" have been grouped together in the top layer on the Layers panel.

Pro Tip : Part of being your own graphic designer is knowing there are multiple ways to do something (sweet freedom!). Add more text, and it will be shown in its own layer. In the Layers panel, select and drag the “go” text layer under the gradient layer, so it appears behind it.
To get the look for the “Go” text we have in this design, change the blend mode to Multiply and adjust the Fade slider in the Text Tools menu. Customize your text in the text box that appears over your image.
To manipulate the text layers on your image, simply click Text in the side tabs of the editor and then Add text at the top of the menu. Tip: use the eraser in the Text Tools menu to erase where text overlaps with the photo subject, and it will appear to be behind her.
