Merge images so there is no mask and copy and paste to new art board. Be sure to save original before starting.

Duplicate the layer.

Use one or more selection tools and/or eraser tools to isolate the flower.

Select inverse > Delete if selection tools are used.

Drag the layer to the new canvas. Right click and choose Smart Object if you will be resizing it.

Creating a Smart Object just allows you to resize it without losing resolution.

Use the eraser tools and/or selection tools to remove the background

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Photoshop forum since your previous threads were there.
