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

Start a new canvas

600px by 600px

Flood fill with white.

Open ELEMENTS (22)

Add to your canvas

Resize down to 45%

Duplicate this layer

Select the bottom one

Open PAPERS (5)

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas

Select the bottom frame

Invert the selection and on the paper layer press delete

Deselect

On the paper layer change the blend mode to color

Merge the two layers together

Rotate -16 degrees

Add a drop shadow

On the top frame

Rotate 16 degrees

Add a drop shadow

Arrange them on your canvas

Use mine as a guide

Open PAPERS (1)

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas just below the frames

Use your magic wand to select inside the frames

Select → Modify → Expand, by 5px

Invert the selection

On the paper layer press delete

Deselect

Duplicate this layer

Filter → VanDerLee → Unplugged-X → Pattern Offset

Change the blend mode to soft light

Open ELEMENTS (62)

Use this as a sort of mask

Duplicate this layer

On the top one

Filter → Blur → Gaussian Blur, 3.0px

Change the blend mode to soft light

Add a drop shadow

Add your tube again under the frame

Resize and reposition to your liking

I flipped a couple of mine horizontally

Erase any of the tubes that are outside the frame

Change the blend modes to luminosity

Lower the Opacity to 50%

Move the paper layer with the Pattern Offset done on it above these two layers, still under the frame

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

ELEMENTS (37) – no drop shadow

ELEMENTS (57) – no drop shadow

ELEMENTS (57) – no drop shadow

ELEMENTS (20) – no drop shadow

ELEMENTS (36)
