I'm using a tube from Isamael Rac

Font: Trinkets JL
Size: 200 Points
Anti-alias: Smooth
Create as: Vector
Click on the center of your working image
Type in Capital H
Apply

Using the vector nodes, stretch out your trinket so that it covers alot (but not all) of your image.
Be sure to leave room around the edges
Convert to Raster
If your image is not perfectly centered, cut and paste as a new layer.

De-Select

Duplicate that layer
make sure that the bottom layer is the active one
copy and paste your tube as a new layer (resize tube if needed)
On your layer palette the tube should be between both frame layers
hide the top frame layer
Arrange the tube to your liking
Check to see that your tube is the active layer
select all/float/de-float
UNhide your top frame
make that your active layer
using your eraser tool, erase parts of the frame so that it looks like your tube is popping out of some parts,
But is still behind other parts of the frame.
