Scale down to 80%

I went to just around the the frame so I cuold get as much of the detail of the paper in there as I could.

Duplicate

have one above and one below the frame

On the one below erase any of the legs that are outside the frame

add a drop shadow

On the one above erase any of the legs outside and over the frame

Duplicate and on the new layer
