Supplies--EX- Here

Drop Shadow= DS = 2,2,50,5 black

Let's get started:

800 X 800

1.) EL 12--Resize= R=90% -Sharpen-- Copy and Paste = C&P=As New Raster = NRL= onto canvas-- place on bottom-- now duplicate and close original..

2.) On duplicate--with your Lasso tool go around  top half--- EX 1--- and then delete it --- EX 2 --- opacity = 70% and close out for now--- open original El 12

 3.) working on top layer --C&P--- EL 14--- bring it to the bottom--DS

 4.) C&P Tube as NRL--- place on left side of sand, and move layer between both bottom sand layers--- Duplicate tube-- adjust--gaussian blur--6--Blend Mode = BM = Hard Light --Opacity = 80 % -- Merge Down = MD--- DS

 5.) C&P 2nd Tube as NRL--(resizing if needed) place to the right and back a little, move between the 2 bottom sand layers-- duplicate tube --- gaussian blur= 6--- BM = multiply--- opacity = 90% --- MD--- DS

 6.) Now open up the duplicate and fix it in front of the tubes--- Tag Reference = TR

 7.) EL 13 -- R = 80% X 2-adjust--sharpen--un-sharp mask-- working back on top layer--C&P as NRL-- move it to the bottom- in between tubes -- DS

 8.) EL 23 -- R = 80 % X 2 --un-sharp mask-- C&P as NRL and place it between both tubes-- DS-- and move this below both tube layers.

 9.) EL 26 --R = 60% - un-sharp mask-- C&P as NRL and place between tubes --and move layer right below castle--- DS--TR

10.) EL 20--R = 60%--un-sharp mask-- mirror -- C&P-- As NRL-- place her in front of tube on the right--- DS --- place layer below castle.

11.) EL 21--- 50% & 80% X 2 -- un-sharp mask---C&P as NRL and place it on the left side of canvas on the bottom --- DS -- Rotate -- free rotate--- left 20%.

12.) EL 30 -- R--80% X2 -- un-sharp mask -- mirror --- place tree on bottom sand-- DS--- when happy with placement--- Duplicate and mirror ---MD --- TR

13.) EL 3 --R- 50% -- un-sharp mask --- C&P as NRL -- place on Bottom --- DS

14.) EL 34 -- C&P as NRL-- place it right above background Layer-- DS.

15.)  EL 33 -- R = 50%---  un-sharp mask--C&P as NRL --- place it in front of canvas -- DS -- TR

16.) EL 4 -- R = 50%--- un-sharp mask-- C&P as NRL and place on left side, move this layer below lotion layer-- DS -- TR.

17.) EL 6-- R = 70% --- un-sharp mask -- C&P as NRL and place this layer below the ball layer -- DS--TR.

18.) EL 5-- R = 50% & 80% X 2 ---un-sharp mask-- C&P as NRL and place on right side -- DS -- move layer below tree layer--- duplicate and mirror --- TR --- once happy MD.

19.) EL 9--- R= 60% & 80% X 3---  un-sharp mask --- C&P as NRL -- place in the middle of lifesaver -- DS --- TR

20.) With lasso tool draw a section under the boat -- EX 3--

on bottom layer add NRL -- flood fill with --- 10B2EE ---Select none.

21.) on flood filled layer go to -- Eye Candy 5 -- IMPACT--- Glass-- these settings -- Settings = Clear ---Basic --- 3,0,0, inside selection checked -- color---  10B2EE ---0,0,50,75,75,10.80,20  --- OK--- DS

22.) EL 7 -- R = 50% & 80% -- un-sharp mask--- C&P as NRL -- Place behind castle,and slightly in front of tube on the left -- DS --TR

23.) with the bottom background still closed--merge visible all layers... 

24.) PP 6 ---C&P as NRL-- place layer above Background-- Add mask -- I used one from CMCs Summer collection--June 16,2011 -- Myth mask 62--- after applying the mask, delete it- and ungroup layers..

25.) Now open background layer--Merge Visible all layers, and then Resize -- = 63%-- sharpen

26.) Add ALL Copy Right info and save as PNG..

I hope you can understand my tut and enjoyed it.

Thanks
