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

Start a new canvas

600px by 600px

Flood fill with white.

Open 27

Add to your canvas

Filter → Eye Candy → Gradient Glow

With the following settings:

Add a drop shadow to the 'frame'

Open pp1

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas just below the element we're going to be using as a frame

Use the magic wand to select inside all of the pieces inside the 'frame'

Select → Modify → Expand, by 10

Invert the selection

On the paper layer press delete

Open pp5

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas just above the white background layer

Apply the layer mask here

Add the tube to the canvas

Resize and reposition to your liking

Have this first tube above the paper frame background but below the frame

Erase any of the tube that is extending beyond the frame at the bottom

Duplicate this layer

Move it above the frame this time

Erase any of the tube that is over the frame

Duplicate this layer

On the top one

Filter → Xero → Bad Dream

Softness – 150

Strength - 30

Filer → Blur → Gaussian Blur, 3.0px

Change the blend mode to soft light

On the bottom tube

Add a drop shadow

Add your tube between the background paper layers

Resize and reposition to your liking

I flipped a couple horizontally

Merge the layers

Erase any of the tube that's outside the frame
