Program used: PSP 9

Supplies: kit Retro Chick by Lise-Lotte Sunesen. The kit can be bought at Digital Scrap World.

Plus a tube of your choice. I use “Groovy” by Ismael Rac. You can buy the tube at his store.

Outside filters: simple/4 way average and Zero Porcelain. Optional: a shadow plugin.

* Open a 600*450 px. canvas. Save.

* On raster 1 (which is an empty layer) select all/modify/contract 10 px/Invert.

* Apply the filter simple/4 way average to the promoted selection.

* C/p the following elements onto your canvas:

album 3,

cassettetape 1,

earphone1,

frame1,

radio2 and

* Resize all elements to 18%.

* C/p the tube to your canvas. Duplicate. Mirror one of them and resize that one with 70%. The other tube (100%) needs to be duplicated twice.

* Place the three “100%”  tubes behind the frame like this:

* With the Magic Wand select inside one of the frame “holes”. Modify/Expand 1 px/Invert. Go to the tube, that fits into that “hole” and press delete. Repeat with the other two “holes” and tubes.

* Apply plugin Zero Porcelain default settings to the three tubes in the frame.

* Rotate the cassette tape 4 degrees to the right.

* Apply a shadow to all elements.
