------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

☼ Open a blank image with 600x600 (pixels).

☼ Place the mask. Click File → Place → Select the mask

☼ Add a new layer (name it layer1) → fill it with foreground color. 

☼ Click the mask layer. Select all and copy. Go back to layer1. Press Q on your keyboard → paste → press Q again → Click "Add Vector Mask" icon in the below of the layer column (it's next to fx icon) → resize layer 1 (make it a little bit bigger) → Delete the original mask layer.

☼ Now add blending to layer 1. Click Color Overlay → change color as purple

☼ Copy and paste element 44 (the frame). Resize to make it a little bit smaller.

☼ Copy and paste paper 11 → move it below the layer of element 44 → Erases the parts of the paper which are outside of the frame and in the middle of the frame 

☼ Select both paper layer and the frame layer and merge them (it'll be renamed as layer 2)

☼ Copy and paste the tube → duplicate layer 2 → move layer 2 copy upon the tube layer → resize the tube to be smaller → move the tube to the right side of the frame a bit→ erase the top part of layer 2 copy which covers the tube's head, shoulder and arm. 

☼ Place paper 3 → move it below layer 2 → resize to make it smaller → adjust its hue and saturation (set hue as -180)

☼ Copy and paste the tube (close up) → put it between paper 3 and layer 2 → resize (smaller) → change opacity to 59% → erase the part that is outside of the frame

☼ Copy and paste element 58 → move it below paper 3 → resize (smaller) → put it on the lower right corner of the canvas 

☼ Copy and paste element 3 → move it below paper 3→ resize (smaller) → put it on the top right corner of the canvas 

☼ Copy and paste element 6 → move it upon layer 2 copy → resize (smaller) → put it on the left of the frame

☼ Copy and paste element 15 → resize (smaller) → put it on the breast of the tube

☼ Duplicate element 15 → resize (smaller) → put it on the bottom of the castle

☼ Copy and paste element 8 → resize (smaller) → put it on the lower right of the frame

☼ Copy and paste element 99 → resize (smaller) → put it on the lower right of the canvas

☼ Copy and paste element 36 → resize (smaller) → put it on the top left of the canvas

☼ Delete the background layer

☼ Add your name/text to it, put it on the lower right of the frame. 

☼ To add P-O which is on the top left of the canvas, you can do it by clicking Create warped text and then choose Arc

☼ Eventually add required copyright/credit and save it in jpg or png format
