Let's Get Started:

Open a new 700 x 700 image.

Paste Chair. Image> Resize to 40%. Position to the right of the frame.

Paste Bookstack 1. Image> Resize to 45%. Drag under the chair layer and position behind the chair.

Paste Compnotebook. Image> Resize to 15% and then to 75%. Image> Free Rotate to left 35 degrees. Position at the bottom right corner of the frame.

Paste Bookstack 1 again. Image> Resize to 25%. Image> Flip. Position in front of the yellow compbook and to the left a little.

Duplicate the book stack. Image> Resize to 65%. Image> Flip. Image> Mirror. Drag layer to above comp notebook. Position to the right of the larger stack.

Select the frame layer and your wand tool. Click inside of the frame. Selections> Modify> Expand by 10. Selections> Invert. Select the paper layer and hit the delete key on your keyboard. Selections> Select None.

Paste tube of choice. I resized my tube to 85%. Position inside of the frame. (If your tube sticks out from behind the frame then follow the same steps as you did with the paper layer so that it does not).

Add Drop Shadow to tube.

Create a new raster layer. Drag the new raster layer to the bottom. Flood Fill layer with the color of your choice. I used color #fd6951. It was a color from the tube.

Open a mask of your choice. I used Mask 4 by Tonya on the Creative Misfit Blog. Return to your tag.

Layers> New Mask Layer> From Image> Select the mask in the drop down.
