*May be difficult- working with lots of layers- steps*



Open frame 13, R/S 95%, image- canvas size 600x600
Open frame 20, R/S 80%, C/P onto canvas
Now open your tube, if you used the same one as me
You'll notice she's quite large, R/S 44%, C/P onto canvas
Using your mover tool drag her down to where you want
and erase the excess of the tube off the bottom.

Selecting your tube add your gradient glow, or selections-
all- float- defloat- modify expand by 2, select your F/F tool
new R/L, fill your tube inside the marching ants. select none
drag this below your tube layer, then add noise and D/P
Hide your frame, and merge these, now unhide frame

Using your freehand selection, set to point to point
mose: add shift, smoothing 1, now clicking around on your frame
make sure you started at the outer black part above your music notes
but it must be on the frame, clicking around until you have marching ants
Once you reach the beginning connect the lines, and right click
this will make it all connecting. now open paper6, R/S 60%
C/P onto your canvas, selections- invert- delete. select none
drag paper layer below your frame.

Now going back to your tube. adjust- duplicate, drag merged
below your frame layer, selecting your eraser tool, now start
erasing your copy of merge, you will see it starts looking like she's
hiding behind the frame. but above the paper layer
make sure you go back to your merged and erase the parts sticking out

Now do the same steps for the outer glow on your frame
that you did with your tube, or skip this step.

Selecting your paper layer inside your frame
selections- all- float- defloat, go back and select your tube
C/P onto your canvas, i keep ding this and draging the tubes around
inside the frame, to where i got her face's inside where i wanted.
Once you've done this, selections- invert. delete on each layer. select none

I like to hide everything and merge my tube layers, change blend mode
to screen, then adjust- hue/sat -colorize sat set to 0 to turn
the tubes grayscale. this makes them stand out more.

Duplicate your tubes layer and apply screenworks -
grid layout. now i added a slight radiance settings of choice


Now it's element time


Elements i used and the resized %
Using this drop shadow: 0, 0, 61, 5, color black

Element5- 20%
Element36- 40%
