Summer Living

I used the awesome work of Popeye Wong. The 

tube is called Sandy Joy.  You can find his awesome work

HERE and his tubes HERE.

My kit, Summer Things, HERE on the Creative Chicks blog.

Two of my masks LLM 616 and LLM 584 on my blog HERE.

Mura Meister Copies or a Sand Tube.

For the name layer, I used Unthrift Second Personal font.

Are yas ready! Ok! Let's begin!

Open an image-use size of choice,....I chose 700x700.

Select all, add  a new layer, copy and paste paper 13 into selection.

Add  My mask 616 or a mask of choice.

Layers, Merge, Merge group. Resize to 50%. Move to one side.  Duplicate and mirror.

Arrange these to layers to fit most of your canvas. 

Select all, add  a new layer, copy and paste paper 9 into selection.

Add  My mask 584 or a mask of choice.

Layers, Merge, Merge group. Resize to 50%. Move to one side.  Duplicate and mirror.

Arrange these to layers to fit most of your canvas. 

Now click on your top mask layer.  Copy and paste my sand as a new layer and 

resize it to fit around the size of the two beach scene layers. 

For the sand layer beneath my tube's feet:

Click on the layer under the beach scene layer. Grab your freehand tool and

draw like a circle. Add a new layer and use the same Murameisther cloud settings.  

I also added noise --setting at 20. Deselect.

Now we add our elements. I used:

Sun Resized to 50%.

Speedboat resized to 50%.

Dolphin  Resized 45%.

Beach Scene. Move to one side.  Duplicate and mirror.

Now click on your top mask layer. 

This next step is optional, and if you do do it, it can be done different

ways.  You can either find a suitable sand element of choice and leave it as is.

 Or you can do it the way I did:

Copy and paste my sand element as a new layer .

Select all float defloat, Mura meister copies, sand with the settings below. 

Alwalys remember, if you want, you can play 

around with the settings to get the look you want.

I only did the above step with my sand element because I wanted to have more 

sand of a similar color. 

Pail resized to 20%. Add a few sea shells and the starfish.  Resize them all about 15% to 20%. 

I Resized Sea Shell 1 to 12%.

Beach Ball Resized to 20%.

Add your tube of choice, if you wish, anywhere you see fit.

Resize and arrange the elements to the way you like them.

Crop and/or resize your tag to your liking.

Add your watermark if you wish, and make 

sure you add the copyright for the image you used.

Add your name or name(s) of whoever you want.

I also used the backgrounds from my tube. So, if you do not have the tube, you will

need a color or papers of choice in mind.

Open an image with a transparent background 630x630. You can always resize

to your preference later.

into selection. I used the Sea Background from the tube.  Deselect. Add your first mask of choice. I used my LLM-601 mask.  Merge group. Now add another layer, 

select all, float, defloat, copy and paste your second paper into selections, or 

floodfill the layer with a color of choice.

Now, add your second mask....or mine -- LLM-604.  Merge, Merge Group.

Duplicate the second group 2 times. On the top layer I used Flaming Pear Flood with the

following settings:

I  duplicated the turtle several times.

Resize and arrange the elements to the way you like them.
