Just remember that my choices of papers and elements is just a suggestion, change it up and make it yours! You don't have to follow mine exactly.

Let's get started!

Open your template, shift D to duplicate. Resize to 600 x 520, then change the canvas size to 750 x 700. I filled the background with white to make it easier to see.

Delete the following layers: credits, raster 1, copy of raster 1, stars, raster 3.

Fill each of the different layers of the template by clicking on the layer in your layer palette, then take your magic wand, click inside the shape, selections, invert, copy and paste the paper, click delete on your keyboard and deselect. Delete the template layer and add a drop shadow to each of the paper layers as you go.

On the middle circle layer, once you click delete, do not deselect. Leave selected, then open your close up tube, copy and paste as a new layer. click delete on your keyboard. Then deselect, add a drop shadow to the circle layer.

Change the blend mode on the tube to Luminance(L) and drop the opacity to about 50.

Open your mask, open a paper, copy and paste just above the background layer, apply your mask. Go to layers, new mask layer, from image, find the mask in the drop down box. Delete the mask in the layer palette, then merge group.

Add your tube & apply a drop shadow

Add your elements & add drop shadow where needed.
