Select both the layers. Press Ctrl+T to transform. Right click and select skew. Adjust the shape as shown.

Hide one of the layers. Press and hold Alt key and keep pressing down & left arrow key to create 3D extrusion.

Move the original layer above all the layers in layer order in layer palette.

Select and merge all the duplicate extrusion layers. Double click the layer to open layer style window. Apply settings as shown.

Repeat the above steps for the second star layer too.

Duplicate the start layer again. Press Ctrl+T. Right Click and select distort. Adjust the nodes to get the perspective shadow.

Enable lock transparency pixels form the layer palette. Fill it with gray color.
