LETS PLAY:
1. Open my frame, duplicate (shift D) and close the original. We are also going to use the tube's jpg, so open it; duplicate, and close the original.
2. Open your tube, c/p your tube onto the canvas, resize your tube to fit then move it over into the left side of the frame. (see tag above for positioning) Rename this layer Tube.
3. Highlight your frame layer. With your magic wand select both sides of the inner rectangle on your frame, selections, expand by 4. C/P your JPEG as a new layer. The image I'm using isn't wide enough so I duplicated it and moved both these JPEGs around until I was happy. I then merged the two layers, renamed the layer image.

7. Select none. Now duplicate this layer, on the duplicate layer, change blend mode to soft light, or one the suits your image and merge down.
8. Highlight your Frame layer. With your magic wand select both sides of the outer section of your rectangle, selections, expand by 4. Add a new layer, rename this layer outer fill.
9. Find a paper you like, or make a gradient using two colors from your tube. I'm using a paper. Paste into selection or flood fill your selection. Move this layer below your image layer.
If you used a gradient find an nice overlay, or maybe use some brushes to give the layer some pizzaz, something that suits the tube you are using. When you are happy, select none.
10. Highlight your fame layer again. This time we are doing the center rectangle of your frame. With your magic wand, and using the previous settings, fill this layer with a contrast paper or color. I'm leaving these choices to you. I'm sure you have a kit with suitable papers. Also, don't forget... in your color palette your have a pattern section, which is next to your gradient section. Here is my tag, and layer palette so far:
11. Highlight your frame layer. Effects, plugins, EC5 Textures, Animal Fur with these settings: Panther Dark & Shiny, or one to suite your tube choice.
12. If you wish to change the color of this frame fur, go to Adjust, Hue & Saturation, colorize and find the color you wish to use. Just play with the settings. I left mine at the default color.
13. Now add your drop shadows. I used the EC5 Perspective Shadow with these settings:
