Gem’s Mask 161 here
“Misty Night” is a PTU scrap kit created by Conchi of Disenando Scraps and can be purchased from Butterfly Blush Designs. You can visit her blog here.
Thank you Conchi for a really wicked kit!

~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Open up a 700 X 700 blank canvas.
Flood fill white.

Copy and paste Frame 7 as a new layer.
Resize 80%.
Move it to the left side of your canvas - see my tag for reference.
Use your Freehand Selection Tool and outline the frame.
New Raster layer below the frame.
Copy and paste Paper 11 Into Selection.
Deselect for now.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer.
Move it into position on the right side of the frame.
Duplicate/Mirror
Change the Properties to Difference
Lower the Opacity to about 65 or so.
I realize the tube is overhanging the side of the frame. It’s ok. We’ll take care of that in a bit.

Copy and paste Moon as a new layer.
Resize 30%
Move into position below the frame.

Highlight the paper layer.
Click anywhere outside of the paper.
Highlight the moon layer - tap the delete key.
Highlight the tube layer that’s just below the frame - tap the delete key.
DO NOT DESELECT.

New Raster layer just below the frame layer.
Effects/3D Effects/Cutout
Vertical: -10
Horizontal: -10
Opacity: 15
Blur: 35
Color: #ffffff

Repeat the above step accept change the Vertical and Horizontal numbers to 10.

I’ll tell you how to get the tube reflection in the ball in just a bit.
