Step 2:
Create a new layer. (layer -> New -> Layers). Select “Rounded Rectangle Tool”.
And set color # d3d3d3 and radius 10px and draw a rounded rectangular shape as shown below.

Step 7:
Select polygonal lasso tool and make a selection like shown below.
Create a new layer. (layer -> New -> Layers). Fill the selection with white color and set opacity to 20%.
