Open mask or Choice, Invert Black and white.
Choose paper of your liking, drag onto document and free transform size to yuor choosing.
Drag onto document and fit for size .

Choose Erasrer tool. I used a tear brush application (*by Terry Meruca, purchased at www.scrapbook-elements.com) and went around edge of mask to reveal paper undeneath.
Pick Frame of choice, drag onto document, free tranform to resize so it fits better on page and is skinnier.
Also tilt in one direction or the other. Apply Blending options- Stroke, 3 pixels, color picked with eyedropper tool from background paper.
Apply bevel and emboss style, smooth, with Shadow opacity at 9.

Duplicate layer and move that layer behind the frame.
Using eraser tool with a basic round brush. Erase parts of the tube that overhang the bottom of the frame.
Choose a ribbon of your liking. Free transform size and width so that it covers most of bottom of frame.
I recoloured this one to match part of the tube.
Choose another ribbon, free tramsform size and width so that it covers middle of last ribbon.
Choose coordinating Flower. I used Hibiscus since it's a tropical theme.
Drag onto document, free transform size, placement and tilt to move it to top corner of frame.
Move behind Tube so it looks like it's part of the frame.
Choose Hibiscus flower again, recolour to coordinate with tube colors. resize smaller and place below and on top of 1st flower.
Repeat reclouring flower again and making it smaller yet and placing below 2nd flower.
