Designer Challenge - Layer Styles

Hi everyone! Hope you're having a great week. I've been super busy - getting one kiddo ready for prom, one getting ready for baseball season, and the two youngest just registered for kindergarten! Whew...we have a lot going on around here.

Busy as we can get, when I saw this designer challenge at Pixelscrapper I just had to get in on it. The challenge? Layer styles! I've only played around with making a few layer styles, so this is still pretty new to me. But I do ♥ using them. I've grabbed quite a few freebies from around the web and now this is my chance to give back.

This is a pretty simple one. I went with a style for stitching. I use a lot of stitching in layouts and designing and they're not always "real" stitches. So more often than not, I have to apply a texture and bevel to give it a more realistic look. And that's exactly what these two styles do. One is a small bevel with light fabric texture and the second is a larger bevel with a thicker fabric texture.

The styles will work with any color (well, except white...you can't really see the texture on white). If I could figure out how to make a shadow style that would work on top of these styles, I would've included those as well. However, every time I tried to apply the shadow style on top of one of these, it wiped out the stitch style and only applied the shadow. :/ Any ideas how to fix that?

Anyway...here ya go. Two styles in one .asl file and metadata included for PSE users. These are also commercial use friendly!
