~*~*~ Let's Get Started~*~*~

Open up a new canvas

Use your magic wand to select inside the frame.

Select → Modify → Expand, by 5

Invert the selection and on the paper layer, press delete.

Copy and paste into you canvas

Apply your mask here.

Go to your tube and copy and paste it onto your canvas

Drag this layer between your frame and the paper background.

Adjust it to your liking and then select your Frame background layer, invert the selection and on your tube layer press delete.

Change the blend mode to Luminostiy and the opacity to 50%.

Duplicate the layer

On this new layer.

Filer → Blur → Gaussian Blur, Radius of 5.

Change the blend mode to soft lift, opacity to 50%

Add our tube to your canvas again, this time it'll be your top layer, above your frame.

Adust and reposition to your liking.

Once you're happy with that, add a drop shadow.

Filter → Xero → Porcelain

All at default except blue channel to 0.

Filter → Xero → Radience

Something subtle that suits the tube you're using.

Filter → Sharpen → Unsharp Mask

All at default.
