The awesome kit I used is called "Glamour Girl" by Grunge & Glitter and it can be found HERE.

Plug-in->Photoeffex>Scalines
Plug-in->Eye Candy 4000>HSB Noise

I used shadow settings V3,H2, O50, B5, Color Black on ALL elements, layers, text and the tube except for the mask layer.
I also sharpened every element and tube I had to resize to get the quality like the original size.

1 Open new canvas 800x800.
2 Open, copy and paste as a new layer the GG_GlamourGirl_frame3 from the kit.
3 Open, copy and paste as a new layer your choice of paper.
4 Move the newly added paper under the frame layer.
5 Get your eraser tool and erase any of the paper sticking out paste the frame.
6 Open, copy and paste as a new layer your choice of tube.
7 Resize and position where desired.
Use my example for reference.
8 Duplicate your tube twice.
9 Resize and position where desired under the frame layer.
10 Click on the first duplicated layer and go to Effects>Plug-ins>Xero>Radiance.
11 Apply these settings: 128-50-128-255.
12 Apply the same settings to the 2nd duplicated tube.
13 Now click on the paper layer used as the background for the frame.
14 Go to Selections>Select All>Float>Defloat.
