Choose now any picture that has a frame.
Insert the picture above the glass, correct its size (ctrl+t) and apply Polygonal Lasso Tool to mark it out. Erase the central part of it (ctrl+x).
Create now a new layer above the floor's layer and group out both layers (just not to get outside the borders) with next selection: Layer – Create Clipping Mask (ctrl+g). Applying the Gradient Tool, dark out a little the floor on the first plane.
Change the layer's type on Overlay and merge down both layers with Layer – Merge Down (ctrl+e).

Combine the layers composing the flower (ctrl+e) and change its color, if it is necessary: Image – Adjustments – Hue/Saturation (ctrl+u).
Copy this layer after that: Layer – Duplicate Layer (ctrl+j). Place it above the book and turn it a little (ctrl+t). Group it with the book (ctrl+g). Erase now those parts of the flower which are situated outside the border of the upper page.
Change the layer's type on Color Burn. Copy out the flower's layer again and make it look white: Image – Adjustments – Brightness/Contrast.
Move this layer under the book's layer and make use of Free Transform selection and Distort option to stretch it out. Change the layer's type on Overlay.
