Let's begin.

Open a new image 750x750 don't worry you will resize later.

Open your choice of paper from your kit I chose paper 5.

Apply your mask by clicking Layers, Load/save mask then apply.

Now Place your tube, you may move it around as you add elements, but it is your choice when you add your tube.

Sometimes I start with elements first and others I start with my tube.

I placed my tree element first and resized it 150.(I placed behind my tube layer)I added a drop shadow of 3,3,70,13.

Now using various gift elements (1.3.6.9) resized at varying rates between 30 and 60. adding a drop shadow to each.

Now on your tube add your drop shadow and a gradient glow of choice, I used 5, 25,100, Opacity 100.

Choose other elements to complement your tube.
