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

Start a new canvas

600px by 600px

Flood fill with white.

Open frame2

Add to your canvas

Scale down to 60% and rotate -10 degrees

Open paper7

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas below your frame

Resize it down quite a bit so you have a bit more of the stripe effect in the middle if you want.

Use your magic wand and select inside the frame

Select → Modify → Expand, by 5

Invert the selection and on the paper layer press delete.

Open paper12

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas below the other paper layer

Apply your layer mask here.

Add your half body tube to your canvas

Position it to your liking, once you're happy with that, duplicate the layer

Drag one below your frame and add a drop shadow

On the one above the frame, erase any that hanging over the bottom portion of the frame.

Filter → Xero → Porcelain

All at default except the blue channel slide to 0.

Filter → Xero → Radiance

Something subtle that just brightens your tube back up a bit.
