Alright, let's get started!
Open a new canvas, size 650x650.
Move the lifesaver to the blank canvas. Put in the middle. I made it a little smaller than it originally is.
Add a drop shadow.
Move the ocean behind the lifesaver and make the top of the ocean meet the bottom of the open circle. Erase parts of the ocean that stick outside the lifesaver.
Take the sand and move it behind the lifesaver and ocean. Erase any parts of the sand outside the lifesaver.
Move the fence behind the lifesaver so the part that sticks out shows the rope on the left side. Resize it so it the top of the fence meets the middle of the lifesaver. Add a drop shadow and then duplicate the fence.
Move the fence duplicate to the right side of the lifesaver.
Now move your tube in front of the lifesaver. Have her head/hair just stick above the lifesaver and add a drop shadow.
Move the sand behind the fence and under the tube so she is sitting on it. The bottom of the sand should meet the very bottom of the tube.
Move the palm behind the fence on the left hand side. Make it smaller and have two copies on each side to cover the back of the fence. Move a third copy on the left side only. Move it in the middle of the two palms and move it down a little to cover the empty space. Add a drop shadow to each palm.
Move PalmTree2 behind the palms on the right side. Have it stick out above the lifesaver just a little. Add a drop shadow. Duplicate the PalmTree and move it to the other side and flip horizontally. Make it shorter than the other group.
Now open PalmTree1. Move it on the right side and in front of PalmTree2. Make it smaller and below the PalmTree2. Add a drop shadow. Duplicate PalmTree1 and move it to the right of the PalmTree2 and behind the lifesaver.
Now move Sign2 so it sits on the fence to the left of the lifesaver. It should stop at the 'A'. Add a drop shadow. Duplicate the sign and move it to the other side. Now it should show the 'CH'.
Move the Gull and have it sit on top of the sign on the left hand side. The wing tips should meet the palm tree branch. Add a drop shadow.
Move the Umbrella behind the lifesaver. Flip horizontally and add a drop shadow. Erase the pole if it sticks out.
Now take the sandpile and move it on the left hand side. Move it behind the tube. Have the tip of the sandpile meet the bottom bar of the fence. It can stick outside the fence a little. Add a drop shadow. Duplicate the sandpile, flip horizontally, and move it to the right side of the tube.
You should have a little space left in the middle so duplicate one of the sandpiles, make it smaller and move it to the middle under the tube.
Move the BeachBag on top of the sandpile on the right side. The bag should stick out just about the bottom bar of the fence. Add a drop shadow.
Move the flipflops behind the tube and in front of the beachbag. Make it smaller and add a drop shadow.
Move the sandhat in front of the flipflops and beachbag. Add a drops shadow.
Move the sunglasses2 behind the sandhat and in front of the bag. Add a drop shadow.
Move the paperboat in front of the sand bucket (if you used the same tube as me). Add a drop shadow.
Move shell1 to the left side of the boat. Flip vertically and add a drop shadow.
Move shell2 to the right side of the paperboat. Add a drop shadow.
Move the camera to the left hand corner toward the edge. Add a drop shadow.
Move cocktail1 behind the camera and add a drop shadow.
Move starfish1 behind the camera and cocktail. Add a drop shadow.
Move shell3 behind the camera and the tube. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Move flower4 behind the cocktail. Add a drop shadow.
Move asstshells behind flower4 and the tube. Add a drop shadow.
Move starfish2 in front of the camera and tube. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Save as a .psd if you haven't already.
Let's add the mask.
Open a blank canvas, size 600x600.
Open KLD_Maskvac from K'Lani's Designs.
Open Paper1 and resize to 600x600.
Move the paper on to the blank canvas and then move the mask on top of the paper.
Remove the white background.
For the font:
The font is akaDora.
The color is dark blue - #0a2c6e
Add a white stroke, size 4 and add a drop shadow.
Add a white bevel as well.
Add your copyright information and tagger mark.
Save as a .psd and .png.
We're done!
I hope you liked the outcome. I loved working with this kit and it's perfect for your arsenal of summer kits :)
