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

Start a new canvas

600px by 600px

Flood fill with white.

Open as10

Add to your canvas

Duplicate the frame on the right and then erase it from the bottom

(so you have each frame on a separate layer)

Resize both by 80%

Arrange on your canvas similar to mine

Add a drop shadow

Open paper03

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas

Use your magic wand to select inside the frame

Select → Modify → Expand, by 3

Invert the selection

On the paper layer press delete

Filter → Blur → Motion Blur

Angle – 25 degrees, Distance – 96 Pixels

Duplicate 3 times (so there are four of the same layer)

Merge all of them together

Add your tube to your canvas, resize and reposition to your liking

Move below the frame

Erase any of the tube that's outside the frame at the bottom

Duplicate this layer

Move above the frame, erase any of the tube over the bottom of the frame

Duplicate this layer

Change the blend mode to Soft light

To the bottom tube add a drop shadow

Add the close up to the other frame, in between the two paper background layers we made

Erase any that's outside the frame
