A working knowledge of PSP is assumed.
SUPPLIES NEEDED
Tube of choice. One with a close up works best.
I am using the art of VeryMany, which I purchased a license to use from, VeryManyTubes.
NOTE: This tutorial is written for the supplies I used. If you are using something different, you may need to adjust some settings.
IPL = In Palette Layers
Let's Begin
Open template in PSP. Duplicate and delete original.
(Remember to delete each original template layer once you are finished working with it.)

IPL, delete the credit layers.
Click on the white background layer and then add a new layer. Fill with a color from your tube. I chose 6b3168. Now apply the AR315 mask. Layers - Merge - Merge Group.

I love working with gradient colors, so let's make one now.
Open background color palette. Choose a light color from your tube. I used ba7ab3. Now go to the foreground color palette and select a darker color from your tube. I used 562652. Still in foreground, click the gradient tab. Select Style = Linear. Angle = 40. Repeats = 4.
Click on the frame layer. Select all - Float - Defloat. New Raster Layer. Fill new layer with your gradient color. New Raster Layer. Selections - Modify - Expand - by 4. Fill with the dark color from your gradient. Select None. Move the dark layer below the gradient layer. Stay on the gradient layer. Go to Adjust - Add/Remove Noise - Add noise. Settings: Check Gaussian and Monochrome. Set noise to 12. IPL, right click the gradient layer and merge down to the dark layer. Add a drop shadow. Settings: H & V = 2. Opacity = 100. Blur = 10. Color is black.
Make a new gradient using two colors from your tube. I used for download color, 0f4559, and foreground, 87c9c5. At the foreground gradient tab I change my settings to Style = Sunburst. Repeats = 5. Move the center of the circles to the far lower left corner. Making the Horizontal = 0 and the Vertical = 100.
Click on the frame fill layers. Fill with the new gradient. Keep active.
With the fill layer still active, Paste, as a new layer, your tube. I increased the size of my tube to 125. Center the tube inside the two frames. Selections - Invert. Delete. Select None.
IPL, right click the tube layer and duplicate it. Give the bottom layer the same drop shadow you used for the frame.
Click on the duplicate tube. Go to filters - Xero - Soft Mood. Settings: Haziness = 50. Glow red = 100. Brightness = 25. Contrast = 0. Now, change the opacity to 50. IPL, right click and merge down to original tube layer.
Click on the image layer. Select All - Float - Defloat. New Raster Layer. Fill with a color of choice. I used db2a12. Select None. Add the same noise filter you used for the frame. Go to Effects - 3 D - Inner Bevel. Settings: Bevel = 5. Width = 6. Smoothness = 15. Depth = 1. Ambience = 0. Shininess = 15.
Click on the image bg layer. Go to Adjust - Softness - Soften. IPL, right click and duplicate. Right click the top layer and merge down to the bottom one. Add the same drop shadow you've been using.
Repeat all the steps for the image and image bg for the two hearts.
Click on the L rectangle layer. Select All - Float - Defloat. New Raster Layer. Fill with a color or scrap paper of choice.
( I made a paper using the pattern of the tube's top. Unfortunately, I cannot share it.)
Go to Effects - Texture effects - Blinds. Settings: Width = 4. Opacity = 10. Horizontal. Color = the color you used for the image. Mine is db2a12. Select None. Give the L rectangle bg layer the same drop shadow you've been using.
Repeat all the steps for the L rectangle, and do for the R rectangle. Except change the paper pattern to 50%.
Add any embellishments of your choosing.
Add the copyright and merge visible.
Add a name and save.
