Then delete the black outer text layer.

Another option You have on all the text layers is You could colorize them or fill them but I left them as they were. Now all that is left is adding Your tube and the kits elements. Now if Your adding the elements of the kit I'm using Your going to have really resize them down. As in the girl I had to go to image resize by 15 or 20 percent and so on with the other elements. After adding all the elements You want add Your name and voila Your finally done.
