Click inside the frames with magic wand, ensuring to click in all the bits in the bows and below, selections, modify, expand by 5
open Paper7, resize by 30% and paste as a new layer, selections, invert, delete and move below the frame, now paste your tubes in the the 2 outer frames, resize to fit, hit delete and select none
Click inside the middle frame with magic wand, expand by 4 and paste your tube again, duplicate your tube and hide the top one for now - selections, invert and make sure you are on your bottom tube layer, hit delete, move below the fame layer - your other tube should be above the frame - unhide it and use your eraser tool to erase any parts of the tubes hanging below the frame

Open both the ivy elements, resize and paste behind the frame - see my tag for positioning, I duplicated the green ivy and also positioned it at the bottom
Paste on some flowers, bow & butterfly & position around the tag
When happy with your tag, hide white background and merge visible
