Shadow on an object

[Phil P]

On the image, there is a shadow on the downloaded cup. I';m trying to create the effect of how that shadow would look on the anniversary  greetings that I've laid on it.  

I've tried numerous things but my attempts look like an eel coated with black ink rolled around on that left side of the cup. Is this effect possible?

Try changing the blend mode of the greeting to Darken and see if that is what you want

Good fix. On my computer, Darken completely obscured part of the left side of the mug.  But I tried Mulitply and that did the trick.

Thank you so much.
