You will need the mask from the template 28416 by

Babadou.

Font is 

Santa's Sleigh.

Open a new transparent canvas 650 by 750 and fill with white.

Paste the mask and resize it 23%, select all, float and defloat the mask, make a new layer, paste paper 17 into the selection, deselect and delete the original black mask layer.

Paste spray 10 and move into place then use the Pick tool on your mask layer to stretch it down a little longer.

Get the two frames, the deer head and the tree into position.  Activate the left hand frame and select the interior with your magic wand, expand the selection by 5, make a new layer below it and paste paper  10 into the selection.    Paste the tube, resize 70% and position in the frame, invert the selection, hit delete on the tube and deselect.  Duplicate the paper and the tube, mirror the tube and position both in the right hand frame.  Apply the drop shadow to both frames and change the blend mode on the tubes to “Overlay”.
