8. Next we can add a nice design at the top of each note. Here is what I used.

You can add it into your existing document by copying and pasting it. An alternate way is to simply open it up in its own document and drag and drop it to your existing document. This is what you should have.

9. Now for the cool part. Position and resize the design and then change the blending mode to ‘multiply’. Here is what you should have.

10. And your layer palette should look like so. ‘Layer 4′ is the design layer which I changed the blend mode to multiply. Please note you can disregard the ‘Layer 2′ and ‘Layer 1′ as those are layers created from the wood texture tutorial.

11. Next in order to transform the ‘notes’ we need to merge the design layer (Layer 4) with the note layer. So with your design layer selected in the layers palette hit CTRL+E to merge it down. Now this is what your layers palette should look like.

12. Next enter free transform mode (CTRL+T) and move the constrain dot (the dot in the middle of the object being transformed) and move it down and left a small amount. Then rotate the note clockwise a small amount. Like shown.
