image > free rotate

image > mirror > mirror vertical
layers > merge > merge visible
adjsut > sharpness > sharpen
your work looks like this

effects > image effects > offset > H : 0 / V : -85
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow

blend mode of the layer : Multiply
Step 18
activate the layer «Adeyeo-Freebies14-e7.pspimage »
