set the blend mode of the cutout to soft light.

add a new raster layer above the red strip and select all.

open paper2 from the kit and copy.

now add the tube at 100% on the top of all the other layers.

now that all the basics are done, add any elements, text and tubes.

don't forget to add artist credit and license info.

when you're all done, copy special > copy merged. 

paste as a new image and use your magic wand tool to select outside the tag. 

invert selection and crop to selection. 

that will get rid of any extra space that you don't need.
