I assume you have a working knowledge of psp. I used v9
Materials used:
Tube: Zindy Love Letter
*This is a commissioned tube and although she may be available for purchase in the future, at this moment she is not.
SK: Scraphonored_LoveConquers from CDO
I used the beautiful kit, LoveConquers by Honored Scraps
This kit contains 60 Elements, 12 Papers, 6 Frames, 3 Word Art

1. Open new raster transparent 500 x 500 (bigger if you prefer)
2. C/P frame 04 as new layer, resize 45%
3. Duplicate element, bottom layer: adjust blur, Gaussian Blur, Radius 3.00 Ok
4. Use your selection tool to copy the bottom third (1/3) of your tube and paste on top of frame
5. Click inside frame with magic want. Select modify, expand by 2, invert, delete excess from tube)
* With this particular tube it is the bird and envelope that should be showing
6. This new layer, change blend mode to screen
7. Change frame color from black to #888581
8. Duplicate and repeat step #3 with frame
9. Copy tube as new layer over frame and clean up around the bottom edges
10. Duplicate and repeat step #3
11. On the duplicated tube from step 10 use a drop shadow of choice.
I used Eye Candy 5, Impact Perspective Shadow with the following settings:
Shadow mode: drop shadow, Center offset direction:0, Center offset distance: 5.74, Overall opacity 100, Overall blur 24.05, Shadow black and Mask selection selected.
12. C/P element 57 as new layer, resize 65%. Move to back. Duplicate, free rotate 90 Left
13. At this point you can fill in and add elements around your tube to your liking. Just a note, while doing this I enjoy playing with my blends.
14. Duplicate and repeat step #3, Adjust add noise, uniform 32, monochrome unselected. *remember this is your bottom layer and is meant to be a subtle effect
15. Place correct copyright and license information visibly on tag
