CoffeeShop ShadowHouse Blog Header 1!



I was really inspired by Jerry's ShadowHouse Creations Creative Layer Masks so I decided to make one of them into clipping masks and put together a little blog header. It is 1000px by 300px (make sure to resize it so it fits your blog) and it is a .psd image file (not an action!) that you open in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Once you open it you will see the following layer pane.

You can adjust the color of the background by clicking on the Background Color Fill layer box. Please don't forget to turn off the top layer before saving your finished header. It credits Jerry and ShadowHouse Creations. :-)



Use clipping masks to add your images to the masks (if you don't know how to use them read this or this).



If you want to fill the clipping masks with color and/or text, just look at the image above for complete directions.

Thanks once again Jerry for making my "job" here easy and fun!!! ;-)
