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

Open up a new canvas

600px x 600px.

Flood fill with white

Open as46

Copy and paste onto your canvas and scale down to 70%

add a drop shadow

Open Paper03

Resize to 600px x 600px

Copy and paste onto your canvas

Drag below your frame layer.

Use your magic wand and select inside the two frames

Select ---> Modify ---> Expand, by 4

Invert the selection and on the paper layer, press delete

Deselect.

Open your tube up.

Choose the layers you want showing (I went with the green)

Hide the others, including the background and merge visible

Copy and paste the merged layer onto your canvas.

Resize and position to your liking.

Add a drop shadow

Filter ---> Xero ---> Porcelain

All at default except the blue channel, slide all the way to the left to 0.

Filter ---> Xero ---> Radiance

Something Sublte that just brightens the tube up a bit.

Filter ---> Sharpen ---> Unsharp mask

All at default.

Paste your tube layer again and put just her face in the one frame, resize how you want it.

Ctrl + Click the thumbnail in the layers of your frame background, invert the selection

On your close up tube layer, press delete.

Erase any bit that may be hanging over into the other frame.

Change the Blend mode of this layer to Luminosity and the opacity at 80%

Duplicate the layer

Change the blend mode to Vivid light and leave the opacity at 80%

Add your tube to the other side of the frame just like you did last time just make it smaller

I acutally added it twice and deleted the extras like before

Then changed the blend mode to overlay.

Now Go down to your white background layer and click on that layer and then add a new layer

Flood fill with a color of your choice that compliments your tube.

I did #001b06

Apply your mask to this layer.
Then take your eliptical tool and have is set to a feather of about 25px.
Draw out a selection, and then invert the selection and on the mask layer press delete.

Now we're going to embellish.

Do so to your liking, you can use mine as an example.
