 ~*~*~ Let's Get Started~*~*~

Start a new canvas

600px by 600px

Flood fill with white.

Open as31

use your rectangle selction tool and select just one half of the frame

Ctrl + C

And the Ctrl + V onto your canvas

Go back to the frame, invert your select and add that half to the canvas the way we did above.

Arrange them on your canvas how you want, you can use mine for a guide.

Once you have that all the way you want, add a drop shadow to both

Open paper05

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas

Use your magic wand to select inside your frames

Select → Modify → Expand, by 3

Invert and on the paper layer, press delete

Deselect

Open paper11

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas below your other paper we added

Apply your mask here.

Open your tube and get it the way you want it, merge the layers you're using together

Add to your canvas and resize and position the way you're wanting it.

Duplicate it

Have one above the frame and one below

The one below add a drop shadow and erase any of the legs that are beyond the frame

On the one above erase any of the legs beyond the frame or over the frame

Duplicate this layer

Filter → Blur → Gaussian Blur, 3.0 px

Change the blend mode to soft light

Add your tube to the other frames how you're wanting to and change the blend modes and opacity to your liking.

I did:

The one on the upper left – Luminosity, Opacity at 40%

The one on the upper right – Luminosity, opacity at 30%

The one on the bottom right – Soft light, opacity at 100%

Now add which elements you'd like

I used the following from the bottom up with a drop shadow unless stated:
