Now here comes the fun part ... me trying to explain in a way that you will understand. I hope you have done this before so it is not so complicated.

You have your frame layer. C-N-P ribbon 9 as new layer and scale to fit so it looks like mine. Adjust and Add noise 55 - monochrome - random ... fit on the side of the frame. Add the gradient glow same as before to the ribbon and rename ribbon. Now duplicate your frame and position on top of ribbon so you have frame - ribbon - frame. Now with your eraser tool erase the left side of the frame. DO NOT erase the ribbon that is connected to the flower. With a smaller size erase around the frame ribbon. Now back to the easy stuff.
