Own custom shape and save (Pen Tool 3)

We have changed our fill layer of the layer to a brownish color.
Now we will still provide some layer styles.

I opted for an “Inner Shadow”, an “Outer Glow” and “Inner Glow”, but you can enter your own preferences.

I am reasonably satisfied with the result.
If you want to keep the shorts so you can use it again later, we can save it as a “Custom Shape”.

To store the shape that we just created in the “Custom Shape” folder, click “Edit” – “Define Custom Shape” … in the menu bar.
Give the shape a name in the dialog box that appears and click OK.
When we open the folder with all the shapes, you see that our home-made shape is added at the bottom.
