Okay, let's get started!
1.
Open Element 51 from the kit, resize by 90% and paste to the canvas

Make a gradient using two colors from the scrap kit now
I used #db1014 and #fb78ae

Selections - Modify - Expand by 8
Add a new raster layer now and lower it beneath the frame layer
Floodfill with your gradient you made
Selections - Select None.
2.
Open the tube you are using now and paste it to the canvas.
Resize it so it fits within the canvas, move it over the gradient layer to the right of the frame
Now, use a close up and move it to the left and underneath the tube you just pasted on.
Click on the gradient layer
Selections - Select All
Selections - Float
Selections - Defloat
Selections - Invert
Now click on each of the tube layers and hit the delete key.
Click on the closeup, add a dropshadow (0, 0, 30, 3.00) and duplicate it
Change the blend mode of the bottom layer to Luminance (Legacy)
And change the blend mode of the top layer to Screen
Now, click on the other tube to make it active
Add a dropshadow (same as above) and then duplicate it
Change the blend mode of the bottom layer to Luminance (Legacy)
And then change the blend mode of the top layer to Overlay

Click on the gradient layer again
Effects - Texture Effects - Blinds

Draw a heart and add it a few random places
