Open a new image 700 x 700.

Starting with mask layer...

Add a new raster layer and flood fill with a gradient of your choice. See pic for my gradient settings.

Load mask from disk - fit to layer. In layer palette, delete mask and merge group. Use raster deform tool to re size and position to your liking. Duplicate the layer and change blend mode of top copy to Multiply. Don't merge.

Above mask layer c/paste Element 80 Frame re sized to 50%.

 Click in centre with magic wand to float. Selections - Modify - Expand by 2. C/paste paper 8 re sized to 50%. Position. Invert the selection and hit delete. Select none. Apply Tramages - Mo Jellyfish with settings below. Repeat. Move paper layer below Frame. Go back to selections and working on paper layer, Select all - Float. C/paste Element 96 Ghost 1 Re sized to 30 %. Position towards the left.
De Float - Invert - Delete. Select none. Reduce opacity of Ghost to around 20% and merge layer down with paper layer.

Back on Frame layer. Take your magic wand tool and click inside the cut out section of the frame to float. Selections Modify - Expand by 2. Add new raster layer and flood fill the floating selection with gradient used on mask layer. Select none. Move below frame layer apply Mo jellyfish as before. Duplicate layer, change blend mode of top copy to Hard light. Merge layer down with original then merge Frame down with this layer.

D/shadow Frame and merge layer down with paper layer.

C/paste Element 18 Tree 1 re sized to 70%. Position behind Frame on the right. Duplicate and mirror copy to left side above the Frame. D/shadow.

C/paste Element 21 Tree 2 re sized to 70%. Position behind  Frame at the top of canvas. D/shadow.

C/paste your tube above Frame on the right side of canvas. D/shadow.

Work desired elements from kit around frame and tube layers and d/shadow to your liking. I used .....

41 Barbed Wire - 50%. Behind Tree/tube across centre of paper and Frame. Use eraser tool to remove excess that shows to the right of tube.

14 Bird - 25%. Top left, above Tree.

Merge all layers. Crop/re size to your liking. I usually sharpen at this point rather than each separate element as I go along. Adjust - Sharpness - Unsharp Mask 5.0 - 30 -5.
