Ok let's get started.

Open element 23. Set the canvas size to 600 x 600 px. With your pick tool, rotate to the left so that the frames are more horizontal.

Open your mask & paper 12. Resize the paper by 75%, then paste as a new layer onto your frame canvas. Move the paper below the frame layer. Apply your mask, merge group. Then add noise, gaussian, 10, monochrome checked.

Open element 49. Resize by 30%. Paste as a new layer above the mask layer.

Mura Meister Copies: select the encircle preset. Change the Shift X to 65. Click ok.

Open element 62. Place so the top of the element is extending above the top of the frames.

Open element 153. Resize by 50%. Place over the dark plant.

Open element 33. Resize by 60%. Place to the right of the white flower bunch. Duplicate, mirror horizontal.

Open element 2. Resize by 60%. Place to the top right, over the pink flower bunch on the right. Duplicate, mirror horizontal.

On your frame layer, use your magic wand tool & click inside each frame. Selections, modify, expand by 10.

Open paper 3. Resize by 75%. Paste as a new layer. Selections, invert & press delete. Deselect & move below the frame layer.

Now let's add our remaining elements:

27 - paste as a new layer above the frame canvas.

24 - paste as a new layer & place to the bottom.

Now open your tube, resizing slightly. I resized about 80%. Paste as a new layer above the paper layer. Flip horizontal & place behind the left frame. Duplicate, flip horizontal & place behind the right frame. Merge the tubes together. On the paper layer, select all, float, defloat. On the tubes layer, selection, invert & press delete. Deselect. Duplicate the tubes layer, gaussian blur, 3.00. Set the blend mode to Soft Light. On the original merged tubes layer, set the blend mode to Overlay.

Paste your tube again, this time just above the book layer. Resize as necessary. Place to the bottom of the frames. Duplicate, gaussian blur using the same settings as before. Set the blend mode to Overlay, 50.
