Ok! Let's get started! Open up my template. Duplicate by holding down shift + d. Close the original. Delete the credit info layer.
Highlight the transpattern rounded rectangle layer. Go to selections > select all. Selections > float. Selections > defloat. Highlight your white background layer and add a new raster layer. Floodfill the new layer with a color of choice. (I used a light green). Deselect. (CTRL+D). The transpattern rectangle should be above your floodfill layer. Highlight the trasnpattern rounded rectangle and change the blend mode to Luminance (Legacy).
Highlight the rounded rectangle layer. Select, float and defloat. Add a new raster layer. Open up a "fence" paper from the kit. (I used paper 2). Resize by 65%, smartsize. Copy. Highlight your new raster layer. Paste into selection. Deselect. Apply Graident Glow to the paper layer with the following settings:
Repeat the gradient glow.
Grab your preset shape tool - ellipse - oval. Change your foreground to null and make your background black. Draw out a wide oval that covers most of the paper like this:
Make certain the oval is centered in the middle of the rounded rectangle fence paper. Grab your magic wand tool, tolerance set at 100, feather set at 25.00. Click on the black oval. Highlight the rounded rectangle fence paper and apply Xenfoex - Rip Open with the following settings:
Deselect. Give the paper rounded rectangle layer a drop shadow of H and V 0, Opacity 75, Blur 10.00. Delete the gray rounded rectangle layer.
Open up your first tube of choice. Resize, as necessary, bicubic. Copy and paste as a new layer onto your canvas. Position to your liking in the center of the rounded rectangle. The top part of the tube should be clearly visible above the rest of the template layers (see my tag for reference). Make certain you like where the tube is positioned because you can't move it after this!! lol Duplicate the tube. Drag the bottom tube layer below your ripped open rectangle. Give this tube layer a drop shadow of H 5, V 2, Opacity 60, Blur 8.00. Hide the top tube layer and highlight the bottom tube layer. Grab your eraser tool, size set to 35, Opacity 100. Carefully erase the part of the tube that is hanging below the rounded rectangle. Unhide and highlight your top tube layer. It should be right above the ripped open rectangle layer. Give it a drop shadow of H -7, V -3, Opacity 60, Blur 12.00. Grab your eraser tool again, same settings. Carefully erase the parts of the tube that are hanging below the rounded rectangle, and the middle part of the tube so it looks as if it is "coming out" of the rip in the rectangle.
