Copy & paste frame 42 as a new layer, resize by 85% and sharpen
with your selection tool set on rectangle, draw a selection around the frame
copy paper 15 and paste as a new layer, selections, invert, delete and drag below the frame layer
select none
drop shadow the frame 0 0 70 5
Paste your tube as a new layer and position so it looks like she is coming out of the curtains
the easisest way to do this is to place your tube below the frame layer then duplicate
on the duplicate layer you can erase the bits around the curtains

resize element 3 and position on top corner of frame, sharpen
copy & paste element 5, resize and duplicate, move the duplicate below the original and merge down, sharpen and drop shadow

now copy & paste the clover 24, position along the bottom, resize and duplicate a few times, add as much as you want, resize some again and place to the sides at bottom of tag
resize the flower 30 and duplicate, place the flowers on the clover below the harp
when you are happy with how your tag looks, hide background layer & merge visible all other layers - unhide background and add a new raster layer above it, select all
copy & paste Paper 1 into selection, select none
apply your mask, delete & merge group
duplicate the mask layer & merge down
use your deform tool to push the mask layer into shape so it just shows around the tag
