I am using Photoshop CS5 for this tutorial.

Let's get started.
First open up a new canvas with the sizes 650x650. 
Now open your frame - e66, drag into your canvas and resize to your liking. 
Now open up your tube and drag the medium sized layer into your canvas above the frame. 
Use your magic wand to click the inside of the frame, and go to Select>Inverse. 
Use your eraser tool to erase the excess part of the tube over the frame on the bottom. 
Now open your close up and drag it into your canvas, and bring under the frame layer. 
Position to your liking and then duplicate it. 
Now on the duplicated layer, Edit>Transform>Flip Horizontally
Position accordingly, and then merge down to combine the tube layers. 
Now, go back up to your frame layer and click inside with your magic wand again.
Select>Modify>Expand...4.
Select>Inverse, and then go down to your close up merged layer and click delete on your keyboard. 
Now, Select>Inverse again and duplicate the merged layer.
Go down below the first duplicated layer and created a new blank layer. 
Create a gradient to your liking, I chose one like this: 




with the colors #e9dbd9 and #879d95, and bringing it down in a diagonal way. 
Now go back up to your close up merged copy and go to Filters>Blur> Gaussian Blur....6. 
Blending mode-Screen for that one, and then Filter>xero>Soft Vignette> with these settings:



 and then Softlight blending mode for the bottom layer. 
Select>Deselect. 

Now to add the elements,
Here are the elements I used:
e04
e07
e11
e14
e22
e23
e25
e32
e37
e38
e40
e42
e46
e47
e48
e50
e52
e57
e59
e60
e70

I used the drop shadow like so for all of the element layers and the frame and tube as well.

Now do your mask with the paper pp08 and your copyright as normal. 

Now for the name. 
I used the font Southern Aire, with the color #719289 at 72 px.
For the layer styles I used stroke, at 2 px, outside, normal, 100% opacity with white as my color. 
Next I used bevel and emboss like so: 




and then drop shadow like so; 



And that's it! I hope you enjoyed my tutorial!
