Notebook effect help Options

I know it is called layer mask, I can do it with simple paper brush/texture. I don't know how to make it with notebook texture, like this:

Filling it with color didn't worked and the picture wasn't getting in the mask. (Like filling the spirals of the notebook won't work.) What should I do?

Here is an example, of an icon;

Try to make whatever object you want a different color by making it desaturated (Ctrl+Shift+U) first and then make a new layer above. Fill the layer with a color and set it to screen or multiply and see if it changes colors. You can also see if other blending modes on the color layer makes the object turn a color.

Well I didn't meant as color, but how can I pass the picture through the spirals, like on the icon I showed?

[Mikeplyts]

Oh, well what you can try is making a new document with a black background. Then, add your image and move it to the left or wherever you want it. Next, paste your notebook image and resize/rotate it if you need to. Now, just set the notebook image layer's Blending Mode to multiply, color burn, linear burn, or darken - which ever works for you. That seemed to work for me.

Here's my result:

Yes I know... But I am trying to add a full screenshot.
Example;

Like that screenshot inside the notebook texture. However, if I try to add it (ctrl+left click) into the texture, it will cover the spirals, it won't pass beneath it.

I hope I made sense, XD.

I used the same technique that I just told you.

This is my result:
