Open new canvas 600x600.
From the kit past Frame 1, Flip Horizontal and place it at the center,
little more to the right side. Drop Shadow - Opacity 40%, Distance 3,
Size 4. Now go down and click 'background' layer. Past Paper #2,
resize it and place behind the heart whole. Add the tube, right click

copy of that layer and set Opacity to 100% and Blend Mode on
Lighten, add filter Gaussian Blur. At the botom left side place

On them past Element #16, shadow. On there, but more at the canvas
