This tutorial was written with the assumption that you have a basic working knowledge of PSP. I'm using PSP X but this can be done with any other version

Let's get started!

Open a 600x600 transparent canvas, flood fill white

Copy and paste triple frame - magic wand - hold down the shift key and click inside all 3 squares

Selections - Modify - Expand by 3

Add your tube and move over the triple frame

Selections - Invert - hit your delete key

Selections - Select None

Move below frame layer and add a drop shadow and apply porcelain effect

Copy and paste flower, resize move to bottom left corner of the frame, duplicate and move the copy to the upper right corner of the frame add a drop shadow to both

Copy and paste staple and repeat step above without the drop shadow

Copy and paste doodle free rotate 90 degrees to the right resize and duplicate and mirror, merge these 2 layers together and drag below your frame and tube layers and add a drop shadow

Using a paper of choice and set as your foreground layer to pattern and select your paper, background color set to hidden use your elipse tool, width set at 10, and draw out a decent sized circle - convert to a raster layer

Using your magic wand tool again click inside your circle

Selections - Modify - Expand by 3

Add new raster layer and flood fill with a color from your tube

Selections - Select None

Drag the fill below your circle layer

Repeat this step with the close-up of your tube add a drop shadow and change your blend mode to luminance (legacy)
