Mask 133 from Designs by Vaybs here

Alpha i used is from Digital Design Essentails here

Open a new image 650x650-you can resize later-and flood fill with white.

Paste a paper of choice as a new layer and apply your mask.

Layers>new mask layer>from image>choose mask and hit ok.Merge group.

Open frame 1 and resize by 80%,place in the centre of the canvas.

Add a drop shadow and sharpen.Add your tube and place in the centre of the frame.

Click on the mask layer,then add the squiggly wordart onto the canvas as a new layer.

Resize if needed.

Open the bouy element and resize by 50%,place onto the right hand side of the frame.

Add a drop shadow then open the surfboard element.Resize by 80% and place on top of the bouy.

Use your eraser tool to remove part of the bottom of the surfboard,

so it looks like it`s going through the bouy.

Open the crab,resize by 25%,and place at the bottom of the bouy.

Open the beach wordart,and resize by 60%,and place at the bottom of the frame.

Add a drop shadow and sharpen.

Open the sandcastle,resize by 45%,and place on the bottom left of the frame.

Resize the pelican by 50%,place on top of the sandcastle.

Bucket2,resize by 20%,place next to the pelican.

Resize the bottle by 30%,and place on the bottom right of the canvas.

Choose a starfish,resize by 25%,place next to the bottle.

Add a drop shadow to each.

Choose a bird,resize by 30%,place at the top left of the canvas.

Open the cloud,resize by 60%,place behind the bird.

Open the beach ball,resize by 20% and place to the left of the pelican.

Now add anything else you like from the kit,and then add your name.

I used an alpha,and placed it on top of the surfboard,then used the rope,

and placed it along the sides of the alpha.

When you are happy with your tag,

delete the white background and merge all layers.

Add your credits and that`s it you are done!

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial :)
