Here we go!

NOTE: All papers have been resized, please keep that in mind when you are using the flood fill tool.

Open template 1, Shift + "D" to duplicate to a new image. Close original template and go ahead and "Save As" your new template to your desired folder. Turn off copyright layer and move to bottom.

In your layer window, select rectangle 1, Select All, using magic wand, select rectangle 1, add new layer, flood fill with black, add new layer (keep selected), flood fill with
paper 9, deselect, delete original layer, change opacity to paper 9 layer to 38.

In your layer window, select frame background, Select All, using magic wand, select frame background, add new layer, flood fill with paper 1, deselect, change blend mode to
paper 1 to multiply and lower opacity to 18.

Open your tube or image of choice - Copy and paste on top of frame background layer, duplicate, change blend mode to multiply and lower opacity to 52.

Copy and paste any other elements that you would like to use, resizing and rotating as you go.

At this point, I usually resize if I need a smaller image. I also save both the original size and the smaller size images.

Add a new vector layer for your text - (I floodfilled mine with paper 10 and applied noise uniform 50% monochrome checked) To make it stand out, use could use either Eye Candy or duplicate the layer, convert bottom layer to raster, select all, use magic wand to select text, expand by 2, floodfill with black.

Add a new vector layer for your second text - (I floodfilled mine with black) To make it stand out, use could use either Eye Candy or duplicate the layer, convert bottom layer to
