How to recreate this menu navigation?

[tigerwash]

Hi guys,

I need some help recreating this menu nav, namely the stitching look around the background. Anyone know any good tutorials on this or an easy way to recreate this?

Thanks!

Do you have a larger image?

The simple embossing around the stitched area

Is very basic embossing see attachment

 

[IamSam]

Glad you could tell from that image iDad!

 

[tigerwash]

Yes.

 

[tigerwash]

When I try this it bevels the entire layer. Am I doing something wrong?

 

[iDad]

Separate layer of the size you want to be embossed and use the settings I showed. It sounds to me as though you're embossing the whole image

 

[tigerwash]

It still is embossing the whole image. I tried selecting an area and creating a new layer, too.

 

[IamSam]

Ok, I'm lost (not a stretch) here. Is this what your going for?

 

[IamSam]

If it is,

Two layers.
One for the BG color etc,.


One for the stitches or holes......(don't know for sure)


Add the layer style to the stitches or holes layer.


Also added a inner glow.




But if you want stitches...


Use this layer style settings....


Added a drop shadow to help sell the effect...
