Step 1.
First start this tutorial by making a new document for the template. I will be using 820×900.
Now fill the background of the document with #bab4a4.

Step 2.
Next thing is to make a selection on the canvas the whole height of the document but about 60 pixels smaller than the width.
My selection was 740×1020.

Now fill this selection with white (#ffffff)

In the layers pallete, right-click the main white layer and go to the Blending Options…
Apply the following Outer Glow.

Step 3.
Next we’ll make the header bar.
At the top of the document make a selection of your choice, I used a selection 20 pixels smaller than the main white rectangle, and 46 pixels in height.

Fill your selection with a light grey, I used #ebebeb.
Now apply the following Gradient Overlay.

On a new layer make a 1 pixel line 1 pixel from the bottom of the bar all the way across with the pencil tool.

Lower the opacity for this layer to about 50%.
Now add in the text for the header bar. I used Tahoma, 12pt, Bold, #3aaddb.
