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

Start a new canvas

600px by 600px

Flood fill with white.

Open as50

Add to your canvas

Duplicate this layer

On the bottom one erase the right frame

On the top one erase the left frame

Reposition both of the frames to your liking, sort of similar to what I've done

Select both of them and scale down to 85%

Add a drop shadow to both of them

Open paper11

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas below the frames

Use your magic wand to select inside the frames

Select → Modify → Expand, by 3

Invert the selection and on the paper layer press delete

Open paper10

Reszie to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas just above the white background layer

Apply the mask to this layer

Lower the opacity to 50%

Add the tube to the canvas

Resize and reposition to your liking

Erase any of the tube you can see outside the frame at the bottom

Duplicate this layer

Erase any of the tube over the frame

Duplicate this layer

On the bottom layer add a drop shadow

On the top layer

Filter → Blur → Gaussian blur, 3.0px

Change the blend mode to overly and the opacity to 50%

Add the tube just above the purple paper layer

Change the blend modes of these to luminosity.

The one in the left frame lower the opacity to 70%

On the two I have in the left frame lower the opacity to 30% on the left and 40% on the right

Duplicate the purple paper background layer

Change the layer position to above the three tubes we added

Fliter → VanDerLee → Unplugged-X → TV RBG

Change the blend mode to soft light
