Drag guidelines from the screen rulers in from the edges equidistance on each side of the envelope. The easiest way to measure this is create a small square and use that to mark the distance then add your guidelines. Drag an additional guideline from the top ruler to the top of the bitmap. Select the envelope bitmap with the Mould Tool (Shift F6). On the Infobar, click the Default Perspective icon. A rectangle with four corner control points will appear. Drag and snap the top corner points to the intersection of the guides as shown above. NOTE: The bitmap at first appears distorted when the height is modified. But after the perspective envelope is applied it looks right. This process is known as foreshortening.
Draw a larger rectangle behind the envelope. Open the Fill Gallery (Shift F11) and from the Wooden Fills section, select Grain 11 Hi-Res and press Fill. Select the rectangle with the Fill Tool (F5) and an L-shape will appear with 2 arrowheads on each end. Drag the small box at the end of the right arrow head to the edge of the rectangle.
Create a new rectangle the same size as the one you just created and center the new rectangle over the other rectangle. Apply a deep brown fill. Select the new rectangle with the Transparency Tool. Hold down the Ctrl key. Click and drag downward as shown above. This creates an interactive Linear transparency. (You can also select Linear from the Transparency Shape drop down list on the Transparency Tool Infobar and then drag each end of the fill path arrow to a vertical position).
