Go back to the template layer, Selections>Float, Defloat, Invert, and then go back to your 
tube layer and hit delete on your keyboard. 
Selections>Select None. 
Duplicate your tube layer
Crop your canvas so there is no stray paper on the edges, 
Adjust>Blur>Gaussian Blur, 6. 
Use your blend mode Screen on this one
Use your filter Vanderlee>Unplugged-X> Pattern Offset, 30.
Back down to the original and blend mode Luminance (L)
Open kkpaper11, resize to 600 px, and C&P under Raster 3. 
Click on Raster 3 layer, and Selections>Float, defloat, invert, back to paper layer and
