This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP.

Lets get started

Open your template
Ctrl+D to duplicate
Delete the copyright layer & Right and Left Flower.


On Purple Rectangle Layer Select all float and defloat and copy and paste paper 11 paste as a new layer then click invert and tap delete. Then unselect all and delete original.

On Left Medium Circle & Right Medium Circle Layer Select all float and defloat and copy and paste paper 10 paste as a new layer then click invert and tap delete. Then unselect all and delete original.

On White Circle Layer Select all float and defloat and copy and paste paper 9 paste as a new layer then click invert and tap delete. Then unselect all and delete original.

On Left Small Circle & Right Small Circle Layer Select all float and defloat and copy and paste paper 18 paste as a new layer then click invert and tap delete. Then unselect all and delete original.



Now you can use elements of choice or you can use the ones I did. Please use my tag as a reference!

Tiki Pole 1 & 2 resize 54% and place on each side of the template.
Umbrella resize 50% place in the center of the template
If you use the same tube that I use or one similar resize the grass skirt to 50% place over the tube and rotate left to fit on the tube and then stretch to meet the sides of the tube
Lizard resize 50% 2 times mirror and place at the top left of the template
Dragon Fly resize 2 times @ 50% mirror rotate right 3 times and place on the right side of the template
Flower 3 resize 25% place in the top center of the template
Spill place on the top of umbrella then duplicate and mirror.

Now add a drop shadow to all layers



*****Optional for your tube******

I was turned on to this trick by a good friend of my named Kim. You can check her out Click Here See Kim!

On your tube if you want to make it kinda pop out a little more here is something you can do.

Duplicate your tube layer on the copy layer add a gaussian blur of 2.00 and move it below the original layer. On the original layer blend mode to hard light and change the opacity to 73. Merge the layer down and sharpen!

Crop/resize tag to your preference - add copyright/license & watermark & name ..Save as PNG or JPEG
