Start a new canvas

Flood fill with white.

Open frame 1
Add to your canvas
Resize down to 80%
Rotate -10 degrees
Add a drop shadow

Open pp1
Resize to 600px by 600px
Add to your canvas below the frame
Use your magic wand to select inside the frame
Select → Modify → Expand, by 5
Invert the selection and on the paper layer press delete
Duplicate this layer
On the duplicate
