CoffeeShop CutOuts 12!


I made this simple digital "cut out" and wanted to share it with you.  This is a simple png image that can be opened in any editing program.  It is perfect to use in all types of digital design; as you can see I used it in a header.



If you want to add a texture, drag your favorite texture on top of the cut out (the sample above is a bird because I was too lazy to make another screenshot, but it is the same idea) and then group it.  Ctrl-T (free transform) the texture to fit your shape. You can also group a color fill layer to the shape.

I also like to add a drop-shadow to the shape layer.  Save as a png file if you want the background transparent.  If you just flatten and save as a jpg your background will be white.
