I like how the person made the shapes but how do you make the shapes even and have them look like they continue the shape that has been cut off!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Use the gradient fill - foreground to transparent and apply it using the shift key to a marquee (to get various shape marquees - open a custom shape on a new layer, ctrl click the thumb nail, then delete the shape - you are left with the selection mask(marching ants))!.

Then just follow the recipe you already have!.
