WALL TEXTURE

STEP-4 Double click on this layer and apply the following layer style values. Here i have used DROP SHADOW, OUTER GLOW, INNER GLOW.

STEP-5 Create another circle at the centre of the clock frame, fill it colour # 0ddae6. Apply inner glow as i have done here below. Once it done set the opacity of this layer to 24%.

STEP-6 Now using the text tool type the numbers and place it accordingly. Set the fill opacity of these numbers to 24%. Select any one of the number, double click on it to bring in the layer style window and apply the following layer style values. Here i have used only DROP SHADOW.
