Always check my finished tag for placement of Elements.

Add dropshadows to your liking & sharpen after resizing.

Bring upspray_splatter_brush_pack_by_outlinez_3
Resize 30% paste on to canvas,Place in position.
Layers move down 2 times & Rotate 90 Degrees to the Right.
 
Your Image should look something like this.
 Just play around with the splatters.

 Cross out the white BG layer & merge splatters visible.
Unhide the white BG.
On the white BG layer go over to your crop tool

Snap crop rectangle to Merged Opaque
Then click Apply, It's the Tick on the left .
Rename this layer "Splatter".
 
Bring up your Texture & paste as a new layer on your canvas , This should be your top layer.
Click on the splatter we just made. Selections/SelectAll/Float/Defloat/Invert.
Click back on the Texture layer & Delete, Deselect.
Hide the splatter later.
 
So now it should look something like this.

 Again using the the crop tool with the same setting as above.
Rename "Texture Splatter".
 
 Making sure you're On the white BG layer add a new raster layer & select all.
Paste your tube/Image into the selection, Keep selected.

Now go to Adjust/Blur/Gaussian blur/Radius 30%,Select None.
 
Filters/Fliters Unlimited 2.0 -BKg Designers sf10 1V-Grid:Default settings.
Click Apply.
 
Bring up your tube/Image again making sure you are on the top layer & paste on to canvas.
My tube is pretty big, I resized by 50% placed where you like.
On the Texture splatter layer selections/select all/Float/Defloat/Invert.
Click back on the tube layer & delete select none.
 
Still on the tube layer change the blend mode to overlay or one of your choice.
Duplicate & on the copy go to adjust/Gaussian-Radius 5.00.
I changed the Blend mode to Screen.
 

I added Penta.com-Jeans/Default setting on the top tube.

Make a gradient with 2 colours from your tube.
My colours- FG-#fec3d4 -BG-#edeb7f

Add a new raster layer on top & fill with your gradient.
I changed the blend mode to Multiply -Opacity 26.

Again add a new layer on top fill with your gradient. 
Selections/Select all/Modify by 2 pixels delete.

You can leave it as it is or add Elements/Brushes or wording of choice.

Your gradient will be under Foreground-Background /Linear/Angle 45% no repeats.

Change the blend mode to colour.

Grab your shapes tool Background Black & draw out a circle , Move down a little Duplicate 2 x's,So it looks like this:


 

Move them all down just above the white background layer.

Ok now X out all the layers except the top 4 & Merge these Visible.

 New Raster layer & again fill with your Gradient, Change the blend mode to Colour again/Arrange sent to bottom, Delete the White Background layer. Duplicate the colour layer & place it 2nd from the top.

Your Layer palette should now look like this:

Un X the original tube layer, This should be at the top , Duplicate & just play with your blend modes.

I kept the original to -Normal & the duplicated one I changed to soft light & added Gaussian Blur 3.00 .

Duplicate your Colour layer again & Bring to the top.

Still on top draw out a rectangle shape In White,Change the blend mode to Soft light & move below your tubes. It should be below the tubes & Above the Meged layer.

Choose a nice pixel font & write out some words on a Vector layer ,I used Bad girl. 

I set my Kerning to 20 objects align Centre.

MuRa Miester copies Line again only change the top number to 7 or which ever looks best.

 Move the wording to the top of the rectangle, See tag for refference. Duplicate & place to the bottom of the rectangle, Merge them down & move below the tube layers. 

On your top colour layer Duplicate/Image/Mirror & Flip.
