Step 1:
Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 300×300 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and a white background. In a new layer draw a long brown rectangle with #CF9436 and 300 x 55 px dimensions.

Step 2:
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow, Inner Glow, Gradient Overlay and Pattern Overlay blending options to the long brown rectangle layer.
