Steps 7 through 12

Step 7:

Once you insert the picture into your design apply an Inner Shadow and Inner Glow blending options under Layer Styles.

Step 8:

Create a new layer, with your Rounded Rectangle Tool draw another black rounded rectangle size 194x234 px. Use the Fixed Size setting under the Rounded Rectangle Tool to make the exact shape. The picture below has a marquee selection to show you the exact location of the black rounded rectangle since the shape blends with the whole design.

Step 9:

Now go to Select > Load Selection and leave the settings default, this will add a marquee selection around your black rounded rectangle. Then select your Polygonal Lasso Tool, hold Alt on your keyboard and add polygon lasso lines in a slant on the left side of your marquee selection, this should delete half of your marquee selection.

Step 10:

Cut the selection by going to Edit > Cut. Then under Layer Style add a Gradient Overlay blending option.

Step 11:

On your Layers Palette set the layer's blending mode from step ten to Lighten.

Step 12:

Choose your Rounded Rectangle Tool and set the radius to 40 px. Create a new layer, below your screen draw the shape you see on the picture, size 92x85 px and #FFF7D9 for color. Remember to use the Fixed Size setting to create the exact shape.
