Re float this layer. Selections - Select all - Float. C/paste a close up of your tube within the selected area. When happy with placement go to Selections - Invert - Delete. Select None. Working on close up - Apply Xero - Radiance to suit your chosen tube then apply PhotoEffex - Scanlines (default settings).
Duplicate close up. Change blend mode of bottom copy to hard light and top copy blend mode Screen and reduce opacity to 50.

C/paste, position and d/shadow your tube. Place to the right of template behind word art layer.
Now add some elements, d/shadow as you go. I used...

37 Purple Leaves - 35%. Position top left behind close up layer. Duplicate mirror copy to right. Merge down. Duplicate layer and flip.

98 Berry Branch. Place behind close up, top of template. Duplicate, mirror copy and move to far left above purple leaves.

25 Leaves - 60%. Bottom left behind tube layers.

31 Bird - 25%. Bottom left above word art.

48 Lavender - 30%. Rotate right by 21 degrees. Position bottom left behind leaves. Duplicate and mirror copy to bottom right.

80 Dried Flowers - 30%. Rotate right 90 degrees. Position bottom left above lavender. Duplicate and mirror copy to bottom right.

6 Fungi - 30%. Image - mirror. Rotate right by 21 degrees. Place centrally,behind tube layer, above close up.

85 Nut - 30%. Bottom right behind dried flowers.

Merge all layers. Crop 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.
Add name and relevant artist copyright and tube licence info.
Save as Png.
