This tutorial was written using PSP9
but may be done with other versions,
and assumes you have a good working knowledge of PSP and its tools.

Supplies needed:

Objecten.PspShape

I don't remember where I grab these shapes, but © belong to the artist

Settings

Extract and save the Objecten.PspShape to your Preset Shapes folder

Set your Foreground to null
and Background to #613c1f color

Remember to save often.

Let's begin!!

Click on your Preset Shapes Ellipsis Tool - set Circle
and draw out a circle setting as below

Your image should look like this

Convert to Raster Layer

Duplicate it and rename the duplicate Base2

Turn off the duplicate layer and return on the original one.
Make sure it is active.

2 - Open your MagicWand Tool and set as below

Click on a point outside the circle

like a number in a rounded rectangle
or a little tag with the name of your TelefonProvider
using shapes as in the image below

Apply the same settings using for the Text

When you are satisfied on it

Turn off this layer

5 - Turn on the layer named Base2
and activate it

Make your Foreground to null
and Background to #613c1f color again

Click on your Preset Shapes Rectangle Tool again
and draw out a rectangle setting as below

Open again your MagicWand setting the Blur to 2

Rename as Back

Now we go to emblish this Back image
with a telephon silhouette.

and draw an image as below
