Open a new image 700 x 700.
Because we have no template or frame to work around start by creating a centre spot on your canvas.
( we will be deleting this, it's just an aid to placement of our first elements)
So....Using any colour, create a vector circle 200 x 200. Objects - Align - Center in canvas. Convert to raster layer.
Above the centre circle c/paste element 75 Chest Of Drawers re sized to 60%. Rotate right by 2 degrees. Position roughly half way down the circle and line up the right front corner of drawers with the right edge of circle. ( see pic below ) Once in position duplicate. Change blend mode of top copy to screen, merge down and D/shadow.
Behind your centre circle and to left side of canvas, c/paste element 43 - Door re sized to 50%. ( again see pic for placement ) Duplicate, change blend mode of top copy to screen, merge down and d/shadow.
With these elements in place, delete your circle.
C/paste your tube and position above Drawers on the left hand side. I positioned my tube to look as though she was rested just on the edge. D/shadow.
To left of and behind tube c/paste element 74 Trunk re sized to 60% - Image - Mirror - D/shadow.
To the right of canvas behind Drawers c/paste element 40 Armchair re sized to 50% and d/shadow.
Above and behind Armchair C/paste element 4 Window re sized to 25%. Behind the window c/paste paper 4 re sized to 25%. Position paper to your liking then take your selection tool set on rectangle and make a selection just inside the outer edge of the Window Frame. ( see pic )
Invert the selection and hit delete. Select none. Duplicate the paper layer and change blend mode of top copy to screen. Merge down.
D/shadow Window Frame and merge down with paper layer. At the top of your Window c/paste 11 Cobweb re sized to 25%. Duplicate to strengthen and merge down.
Before adding the rest of the elements put mask layers in place.
Mask layer 1- At the bottom of layer palette, c/paste paper 7 re sized to 57%. Load mask from disk - Fit to layer. In layer palette - delete mask - merge group. Use raster deform tool to size and position. Apply Effects- Texture Effects - Brick and set opacity to your liking.
Mask layer 2 - C/paste element 46 Wood Flooring re sized to 57%. Using same mask as before - load mask from disk - fit to layer. In layer palette - delete mask - merge group. Position at the bottom of canvas above mask layer 1. Duplicate to strengthen opacity and merge down.
Continue my adding elements of choice and d/shadow to your liking.
I used....
17 Kitten - 30 %. Right side of canvas. Behind drawers, above Armchair. Duplicate, change blend mode of top copy to hard light, merge down.
20 Doll - 50 %. Bottom right. in front of the Armchair, behind Drawers.
21 Telescope - 40%. Bottom right. Above Doll, behind Drawers.
52 Book Stack - 35% - Rotate right by 3. Bottom right above Drawers. Apply Xero - Nostalgia.
22 Crystal ball - 40%. Bottom right. Above Books.
8 Spider - 20% - Mirror. Bottom right. Above Books.
16 Bottle - 27 % -Mirror - Rotate Left by 3 degrees. Bottom right to left of and above Crystal ball.

55 Gold Sparkle - 30%. Place top left behind Armour / Tube. Duplicate and move copy to bottom right behind Crystal Ball.
5 Web - 30% - Flip. Place bottom left behind the Trunk / Open Book. Duplicate and Move copy to bottom right behind the Crystal Ball. Use eraser tool to remove the bits you don't want.
Merge all layers. Crop/re size to your liking. I usually sharpen at this point rather than each separate element as I go along. Adjust - Sharpness - Unsharp Mask 5.0 - 30 -5.
