I’ve always hated when I got to a tutorial and they do not provide the links to the images, brushes, etc. at the very beginning or throughout the steps, so I promise that I will make sure to do that through the steps! Don’t worry, you don’t have to pay for anything!

Step 1

First, create a Photoshop and create a new file that is 800 x 600.  Next, go download the piece of parchment paper and the typewriter image. Open the parchment paper and place it into your new document.

Step 2

Next, add the following drop shadow effects to give the background of our photo a little depth.

Step 3

Following the the layer styles, add the typerwriter photo to a new layer and adjust the size using the free transform (ctrl + t) to center the photo onto the piece of parchment. Then apply the effects below to that image layer. The color in the outer glow is f7c779.

Step 4

Make a copy of the first layer of parchment paper (ctrl + j) and move it to the top of the layer palette. Set the layer’s blending mode to ‘Multiply’.

Step 5

Finally, go to Image > Adjustments > Levels (ctrl + l) and set the input levels to match the following settings. Then, select Image > Adjustments > Curves (ctrl + m) and use settings similar to the screenshot below.

Step 6

You’re all done! Your image should now look something like the one below! If you have any questions or feel anything wasn’t clear, feel free to ask!
