Open the background texture ... texture26, and go to Photo/Color/Hue & Saturation/Colorize 
and use these settings: Hue: - 175 / Saturation: - 74 / Lightness: 0.

Duplicate (Ctrl+D) the colored background twice. Close the original background, and minimize one of the duplicates -
 we'll work on the other one (this will be our main picture!).

Go to Adjust/Resize and change the Width of the open (colored) texture into 800 Pixels.



Open the tube ... sassyillusions_hunk11 ... copy (Ctrl+C) the tube, and paste (Ctrl+V) the copy of the tube on our main picture.
Right click the tube on our main picture/Properties/Position & Size, 
and change the Position of the tube to: Left: - 14 / Top: 80.

Right click the tube on our main picture/Properties/Position & Size, 
and change the Position of the tube to: Left: 346 / Top: 119.
Click OK and Merge All.



Choose the Standard Selection Tool, and draw a selection from the top of our main picture until it covers the top of the lady tube. 
(See screenshot - red arrow. You can draw outside the image as you can see on my screenshot ... 
as soon as you slip the mouse, the selection will fit the outline of the image.)
Keep the selection activated, go to Edit/Fill/Color and fill the selection with the Color: 93/62/59.
Keep the selection still activated, go to Effect/Jeux de lignes/Entrelacement and use the default settings.
Keep the selection activated. 

Right click/Shadow, and use these settings:

Add some text as you wish, and Merge All.



Right click/All, right click/Convert to Object and deselect the "object" (Enter).



Go to Adjust/Expand Canvas, and expand all sides equally with 70 Pixels, Color: 101/70/67.



Activate our main picture - the "object" - right click/ Shadow and use these settings:
Black + 2.altern. + default settings.
Deselect the "object" (Enter).



Open the scrap element ... 06-Haakje ... copy (Ctrl+C) the element, and paste (Ctrl+V) the copy on our main picture.
Right click the scrap element on our main picture/Properties/Position & Size,

Click OK and keep the border selected. Right click/Border, but this time we use a Border width of 2.
Keep the border selected, go to Edit/Fill/Color and fill the border with the Color: 54/37/35.
Deselect the border (spacebar).



Maximize the other colored background texture (in the original size), and copy (Ctrl+C) the texture.
Activate our main picture again, choose the Selection Tool/Magic Wand, Area and Similarity:0.
Click with the Magic Wand Tool in between the 2 borders in the color 54/37/35 
(you can see it clearly on my screenshot) to make a selection as I did.
Keep this selection activated.

Go to Edit/Paste/Fit into Selection ... the copy we've made of the background texture
 should now be filled into the selection.
Merge All, and your picture is finished. :))
