We can now deselect it-selections-select none

Duplicate the merged close up and tube layer-on the duplicated layer

Change the blend mode on both the original merged layer and the duplicated layer to screen
Or whichever looks best for the tube you are using
Select the duplicated merged layer

Duplicate the tube-adjust-blur-gaussian blur-radius 3.00
Change the blend mode to soft light
Duplicate the duplicated layer-change the blend mode to screen then lower the opacity to around 36
Add drop shadow to the original tube layer if desired

Your banner should now look like this



Make your background colour white and your foreground to null
Preset shape-set on rectangle
Draw out a thin horizontal rectangle
Arrange to the left of your canvas-make sure this layer is below your center tube layers
Lower the opacity to around  54-duplicate this layer
Image-mirror-arranging this on the right-just abit higher than the one on the left
Using a font of choice-I am using Velvenda Cooler-add the words 'My Fetish'
Alternate the colours if desired-arrange this on the left rectangle
Drop shadow 1, 1, 30, 3.00 black
Duplicate this-then arrange on the right rectangle

Set the background colour to null-foreground to black
Gran the pen tool-line style diamond-width 3.00
Holding down shift-draw out a horizontal line-about the size of the thin rectangles
Convert to raster-arrange at the top of the left rectangle
Duplicate-arrange on the right rectangle at the bottom
Draw out another dotted line this time using the colour #fe3e99
Arrange on the bottom of the left rectangle-duplicate this then arrange on the right rectangle at the top
Carry on duplicating and arranging the lines until the lines look the same as above

Using a pixel font-I am using pixelette size 6 anti alias off
Add the words 'Its My Fetish' or anything to match your tube
Arrange as above

Now type out the words 'Latex' in the same font you used on the words 'My Fetish'
Arrange to the left-see above-lower the opacity to around 50
Duplicate then arrange to the right

Open the border layer-make sure this layer is at the very top-you can leave this as it is or colourize it like mine above
I also added noise to parts of it and dotted lines
