Copy and paste onto your canvas.

Take out your shape tool and draw out your rectangle.

Once you're happy with the size, make sure the color is black

Drag it below your paper layer.

Hold down alt and then hover your mouse on the line between the two layers when it changes click down.

Your paper should now be only the size of your black rectangle.

Merge those two layers together.

Ctrl+Click on the new thumbnail so it's selected.

Select → Modify → Contract, by 40

Click delete

Deselect.

Ctrl+Click on this layer again

Select → Modify → Expand, by 3

Create a new layer and flood fill with a color just darker than the darkest of colors in your frame.

Add a bit of a bevel to the top frame layer.

Merge these two layers together and add a drop shadow of choice.

Go to your tube

Copy and Paste it into your canvas.

Resize and reposition to your liking.

Once you have this duplicate it and drag one just below your frame layer, erase any bits that may be poking outside your frame and add a drop shadow to this one.

Erase any of the parts that are sticking outside of the frame on your top layer that should be the top most layer at this point.

Filter → Xero → Porcelain

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

Filer → Sharpen → Unsharp Mask

All at default

Open paper14

Resize to 600px by 600px

Copy and paste into your canvas.

Drag this layer to just above your white background layer.

Apply your mask here.
