I bought this tube when he was with MPT,you can now purchase here

Ptu kit from Designs by LK called `Island Fun`get that here

Mask 78 from Aqua Rebel here

Open a new image 700x700-you can resize later-and flood fill with white.

Add a new layer,and flood fill qith a colour to match your tube

-you can use a paper if you prefer,then add your mask.

I duplicated my mask and recoloured the duplicate,and resized it slightly.

Open a round frame from the kit and resize by 65%.

I used frame 1.Click inside the frame with your magic wand,and expand by 5.

Paste a colour.paper of choice as a new layer,

and go to selctions<invert>edit>cut and deselect.

Drag under the frame layer.

Add your tube and place on top of the frame.

Duplicate the tube and drag the duplicate inder the frame layer.Click back on the original 

and use your eraser tool to remove any parts overhanging the frame.

Now open the grass element and resize by 50%.

Sharpen and place at the bottom left of your frame.

Add a drop shadow,and duplicate and mirror.

Open the sand element and place over the grass.

You can use your lasso tool to stretch it longer or wider if you like.

Add your wordart,i worote Goodbye Winter and 

added Lokas Aqua-play around with the settings till

you find an effect you like.

Open the vine element,resize by 50% and image>rotate 90% right.

Add a drop shadow and place over the wordart.

Use your eraser tool to remove any parts you don`t want.

Open the branch,resize and place on the bottom right hand side of the sand.

Make sure it you move the branch layer underneath the sand,and add a drop shadow.

Open the flowers1,resize and place on the left,under the sand layer.

Flowers 2,resize place on the left again,under the sand layer.

Now decorate your sand using the starfish element.Resize 50% twice,arrange to your liking.

Palmtree,resize place on the right of your frame.drag it just under the mask layer,add a drop shadow.

Open the sun element,resize and place top left of the frame.

Lanterns,resize place inbetween the tree and sun.

Light effects,resize and place on top of your tag.

Open some of the stars,and resize,place inside the frame.

Now add your name using a small font and place on top of the sun.

When you are happy with your tag,delete the white background,

merge all layers and resize to your liking.
