Hey man.. are you kidding or what?I ask you for an explanation how you did it and again you post just the finished image!?

I thought you needed a finished image..... A simple layer clipping group.... flag layer atop shape layer... ALT+click solid line in between the layers in layer pallete. Add non destructive inner shadow to shape layer.....

1. open both images.
2. select flag image (becouse its smaller) and copy to shape image.
3. select layer 0 (shape) and press CTRL+T (edit/free transform) - make shape same size and location as flag.
4. CTRL+click on shape's layer (it will make shape selection).
5. delete shape's layer.
6. SHIFT+CTRL+I (select/inverse)
7. CTRL+X
8. double click on only one layer left. brings up layer style window.
9. Check Inner Shadow and Bevel and Emboss.
10. play with those's two settings.
11. maybe flatten image to save jpg or something (layer/flatten image).

my recommendation - innershadow distance=0, size=4; bevel size=3, soften=6 (up to you)
