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.



Add a drop shadow of your choosing to tubes & elements throughout. I usually use 1, 1, 50, 5 unless otherwise noted.

 

Let's get started!

Open your template, shift D to duplicate and close the original

resize canvas 900 x 800

Delete the following layers

CR

Fill the layers with papers, to do this make sure the layer you want to fill has been clicked on in your layer palette. 

Click inside the shape with your magic wand, selections, modify, invert, open your paper, copy and paste as a new layer, 

click delete on your keyboard.

Delete the original template layer

Some layers, like the frames, you may just want to flood fill with a color from your kit. To do this, click on the layer in your layer palette, add another raster layer above it,

click inside the shape with your magic wand, and flood fill it with your color

Delete the original template layer

layer 3 use paper 2 resized to 800 pixels

layer 1 & 2 flood fill with #f3da98


layer 4 & 11  use paper


 


Make layer 7 active, click inside with your magic wand, copy and paste your tube 


as a new layer, resize 70%, arrange in circle, invert, click delete on your keyboard

on top copy, adjust blur, gaussian 10, change blend mode to screen





Do the same thing for layer 10
