the opacity helps, but I don't think you'll get it to look like it's on the wall because of the gloss and bevel

Try messing with different blend modes... it's the drop-down list next to the Opacity slider in the PS Layers Palette.

Default Blend Mode is "Normal," but try changing it to "Multiply" or "Overlay," "Hard Light," or something... it'll take some trial and error so try all the options, but it might give you slightly better results than just messing with the opacity. :D :D :D

Hope this helps...

here is something i knocked up quickly prob not as good as the master designers but this is just with overlay and some blur added to it like what was stated above its trial and error but with a bit of messing arround may produce better results

As the others have said, and vivid demonstrated. A mixture of layer effects and opacity. Also blur the text slightly, to represent the ink bleeding into the wall.

the main thing is to have the same focus on the wall and the text. In you case you need to blur the text.
