Duplicate your tube layer and move one of these below your frame layer but on top of the paper. On your TOP tube layer, lasso and delete any of the eggshell that is over the frame. You don't have to be neat about it so go above the frame edge. Now click on your lower tube layer and do the same to anything BELOW the frame. DS your BOTTOM tube layer 2/2/45/9.00

On your paper layer, add any brushes or accents that you choose. I added Flower 4 from the kit, resized 50% and sharpened. Again, with your lasso tool, delete any of the flower that sticks out below or around the outside of your frame.

CP another paper of your choice and resize 85%. Open mask 128 By NB in my supplies. Layers, new mask layer from image with the invert box checked. Ok. Merge group. Still on your new mask layer, with your pick tool, resize the mask just slightly larger than your frame. Reposition your frame layer if needed.
