7. Go back to the top mask layer, and select all, selections float then selections defloat, go to effects, DBSFlux Bubbles with the default settings.select none, repeat this on the other two mask layers. (If you ont have BS Flux, just use a texture you like)

position all three in the middle of the mask layers, (Refer to my tag)

10Add your tube, and a drop shdow, drag it under the large rectangle, use your selecction tool to select the part you want to delete, and hit delete on your keyboard, I also had to use the eraser tool to erase the corners.
