~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Open blank canvas 600 x 600 px, floodfill white.

Open mask and tube and minimise for now.

Open paper 12, copy/paste into canvas, resize 77%, apply mask 41, merge down to group, 

re-size by 95%, duplicate 2 - 4 times and merge down to form background.

Open ele 47, copy/paste into canvas resize 65%, position left, change blend mode to Luminance (L).

Drop opacity to around 75%.

Open ele 53, copy/paste into canvas resize 60%, open ele 51/52 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 40%, 

group together as shown in my tag and position to the right, merge down to 

one layer and apply the mask. Drop opacity to around 75%.

Open frame 2 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 25%, open paper 9 re-size 15% position behind frame and

delete excess to leave a background. Dropshadow frame and then merge down. Position to the right.

Open tube, copy/paste into canvas, re size to suit (I used 35% with my tube). I erased the legs to 

around knee height, softening the bottom edge. Dropshadow.

I used the following:

Ele 23 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 50%, duplicate, mirror.
