Gold Metallic Font: How to Without Photoshop

Okay so I have seen everyone under the moon using beautiful gold fonts on their blogs and I am obsessed. However every tutorial I see is using photoshop, I've tried to use it and follow along with these tutorials but it is a total mess every time. So here is my easy free way to get a gold font.

So first things first.
You can go to picmonkey.com and create a white canvas and add the text to it inside the app, but I chose to do it using the app Canva on my cellphone. Make sure that the text is all black and the thicker the font, the more the gold texture will show up. 

Step One:
Go to picmonkey.com. Either create a blank canvas, or upload your white photo with text already on it.

Step Two:
Go to google and search "gold texture". You can save a few images to test out and see which you prefer the best. I chose this one.

Step Three:
Go back to picmonkey and select the layer/butterfly tab. Select "add your own" and add the image you just downloaded. 

Step Four: 
Click the blends tab and select lighten. 

Step Five:
Stretch the layer so that it will cover the entire text and save.

Step Six:
Post to blog and enjoy!
