Some Abbreviations I use:

First off lets chose the colors that we will be working with...

I am going to use #787486 (Foreground) and #452e60 (Background)

Raster 1...Apply Background color.

I am going to be using...Stones Water Overlay...C&P as a new layer

RS by 60%...Duplicate the overlay...move Original layer to the Right of

the canvas...Add a Motion Blur with these settings Angle: 50% and Strength: 80%

Duplicate this blurred Layer and Mirror...Merge Down and Blend Mode to Overlay.

On the other copy of the Stones Water Overlay...we are going to use the Eraser Tool

but with a Fuzz Soft Brush Tip (I believe this is a Standard tip that came with my PSP9)

Slide this Overlay layer to the left or right whatever fits your taste...

I am sliding it to the left and going to erase the edge in a round curve.

Blend Mode Multiply

(See my tag for reference)

Add a New Layer...Fill with your Foreground color change Blend mode to Luminance(L)

Slide this layer under the Overlay you used the Eraser on.

Add your preferred Tube where you think it looks best

Change Blend Mode to Luminance(L) and Opacity to 55%

Add a new layer...now I change my palette to a Fore/Back Gradient with

these settings Linear Angle: 147 Repeats: 7...Fill with Gradient

Select all/ Modify/Contract 6/ Delete

For the border DS I used 0/0/75/12/BLACK
