Merge raster 11 and the copy. Take your pick tool and slightly stretch raster 11 to give it a bigger gradient glow look.

Don't forget to add your drop shadow to each layer as you go.

Add your tube, resize 90 percent.

Time to add the elements, I used the following:
Element 64
Element 18 resize to 45 percent, duplicate & mirror
Element 143 resize to 45 percent, duplicate & mirror
Element 8 resize to 20 percent

See my tag for details.
Add more elements if you wish to.

Open new raster layer and send to the bottom, flood fill with #4baba1 and apply your mask.
Duplicate & mirror then merge down, duplicate & flip.

 When your happy with your tag merge all layers and resize to your liking.

Apply the correct artist copyright and license info and save as a PNG, then add your name and merge & save.

I hope you enjoyed this tut. ♥
