The main problem is that you're creating white semi-transparent 'ice' on a white background.

You'll have to make the top side of the page darker, for example by using a gradient.

Also change the diffuse color to a light blue and the specular into a somewhat darker blue and set transparenty to 40%, not lesser!

The way the word november is displayed is also making it harder to see through.

Make sure the extrusion isn't too big and the letters too close to each other, you won't have any 'see through' between the letters making it unreadable and also don't display it too much in perspective for the same reason.

You also did chipped a lot of 'ice' away making the contour too irregular and not very natural. Use a more 'wavy' contour like I did in the example previously.

And you'll have to use a 'clipped' ice texture to make it more icy.

You'll end up with

I didn't fully rendered it (it would have taken 4 hrs and 32 min!)
