Step 23

Next up, I decided on a simple leather texture for the binding and strap. You can use the one in the image below:

Step 24

Select the brown cover overlap. Copy and paste it above the original, using “ctrl + c” and “ctrl + f”. Then create the linear gradient shown below. The colors are #683F24 (light brown), #412412 (medium brown), and #281911. It’s important to setup the gradient stoppers similar to what is shown, because this will give the illusion of the indentation where the book binds.

Step 25

Using the same technique as step 22, drop in the leather opacity mask as your texture for this part of the journal. Size and rotate till you get it just right.
