♥ Let's Begin! ♥

Open your template, click on the white background and save under your new file exchange. We will start with the papers; all after a resize of 18% (except layer 8 and 9 replacements).

Use "Seaside" paper 2 to replace layers 1 and 2 (pull downward first to get brush into layer 2).

Using "We Love Summer" paper 2,  flip horizontal, resize and replace layer 3. Using "Ocean Breeze", paper 2, flip horizontal, resize, and replace layer 4.

Using "We Love Summer" paper 2, replace layer 8 (after a 20% resize). Using "Seaside" paper 1, replace layers 5 and 6.

Using "Ocean Breeze" paper 2, replace layer 7 (pull upward for more darkness).

Add a layer above layer 9 and flood-fill with colour C5BEA3. Add the noise of your choice.

Duplicate the new layer 7 (right under layer 9), add a 3/5 outline in the same colour and then add the same noise to this layer; merge the two layers or keep them separate (if you want).

Open your tube and delete the closeup and copyright (crop closely, if you so choose). Resize the tube by 675 height (width will change with it). Add the tube to the right side of the design.

Open "Ocean Breeze" anchor, resize by 30% and add above the paper layers; turn slightly.

Open the "We Love Summer" tag, resize by 25% and add under the anchor layer.

Open "Seaside" starfish, resize by 25% and add above the anchor layer.

Open "Ocean Breeze" starfish, flip horizontal, resize by 18% and add above the first starfish layer.

Open "Seaside" seashells, resize by 25% and add under the tube's legs; manually turn to position.

Open "We Love Summer" flag, resize by 35% and add above the tag layer; turn slightly.

Open ""Ocean Breeze" grass, resize by different percentages, and place it all around your design, filling in holes.

Open "Ocean Breeze" string, resize by 20% and add above the blue starfish layer. Duplicate and move one layer below. Drop shadow the top layer, use a small eraser, and remove part of the upper string.

Open "Seaside" ribbon, resize by 15% and place above the anchor layer.

In your upper toolbar: Image > Canvas Size > (see image below for settings)

Pick a colour from your design, create a new image and apply your mask of choice. Mine is by BeckyP. Apply noise as your see fit for a sand effect.

Apply your name, crop or resize your design, and then add your copyright info. Upload to a photo sharing site to enjoy.
