Welcome to the forum.
Here are a couple threads which might help you. I haven't done this effect so I'd have to play with it. I expect other members to come around and contribute. Let us know if you're getting the answers you need or not. That is, I hope we don't leave you in oblivion.

Nice. Perfect in fact.
You can experiment with the highlight, if you want that. It's likely done with a gradient and the darker green on either end with the bright in the middle. Make a selection box on another layer. Create a gradient with the right and left edges the regular green you're using. Make a color in the middle for your highlight. If you haven't adjusted a gradient before, just right click on its representation in the tool menu above.
This is what I came up with; didn't spend a lot of time adjusting the color stops you can see:

As always, there are many way to accomplish an effect.
I had a slightly different approach.....
After I made the slit, on a new layer I used a radial gradient to create the raised highlight.
I then created a rectangle in line with the slit and hit shift + command + I to invert the selection.
I then hit delete to remove the lower part of the radial gradient.
On a new layer, I then created a new rectangle to isolate the area above the slit. I used a large brush set to black with it's opacity turned down to 2% to darken the areas just outside the highlight.
Here it is framed and with some layer styles.
