The paper used from the kit is:

sc_sandebetweenmytoes_paper06

Let’s get started! Be sure to save often!

Open up a new 850x850 raster layer.

Don't worry about the size, you can crop and resize later.

Flood Fill White. So you can see better with your elements.

Label this layer Main Background Layer.

Copy and paste your mask provided in the supplies as a new layer.

Now open up your Sand Between Your Toes Tagger Kit.

Now choose your elements of choice from the kit,

sc_sandebetweenmytoes_element11 (Window Frame):

copy and paste as a new layer.

Make sure this layer is above your mask layer.

sc_sandebetweenmytoes_element12 (Cloud):

Copy and paste as a new layer.

Drag this layer underneath your window frame layer and use your pick tool

to position at the top. See mine to reference.

sc_sandebetweenmytoes_element08 (Light House)

Copy and paste as a new layer. Make sure it's beneath your

Window Frame Layer and Clouds.

Position to the right. See mine to reference.

sc_sandebetweenmytoes_element13 (Grass/Lawn):

Copy and paste as a new layer. Resize By 65%.

Move this layer to the bottom of your Window Frame Layer.

sc_sandebetweenmytoes_element14 (Leaves):

Copy and Paste as a new layer.

Position this layer under the window frame.

Move to the left size under the panes.

Duplicate this layer once, Free Rotate by 90 degrees.

Click on this layer to make active.

Drag it above your Window Frame layer.

Duplicate once more, and mirror.

*Now you should have two filling the bottom of the Window.

sc_sandebetweenmytoes_element07 (LifeSaverSign):

Copy and paste as a new layer. Resize By 40%.

Drag above your window frame layer and move the left of the

window frame. Position at the top. See mine to reference.

sc_sandebetweenmytoes_element16 (Flowers):

Copy and paste as a new layer.

Drag this layer above your leaves layer.

 Resize By 40%, Free Rotate by 90%. 

Position on the far left side of the leaves.

Duplicate Once. Mirror.

Duplicate once more and use your pick tool to position in the middle of the leaves.

Now merge these three flowers together.

Duplicate once more. Drag one of these merged flowers under the leaves layer.

Click on the top flowers layer to make active.

Use your point to point tool, free hand selection and remove

stems to make it look more natural. Now deselect.

*To Deselect, top tool bar, selections, select none.

Copy and paste another flower as a new layer. Resize by 15%.

Drag up to the top of your Life Saver Sign. See mine to reference.

Now Copy and paste a tube of your choice.

I used Beach Girl by Elias Chatzoudis.

Copy and paste as new layer.

Drag one this layer underneath your leaves and flowers, but above

you window frame layer. See mine to reference.

I positioned so the bottom of the tube was covered by the leaves,

with just a little peak of her bum showing.

Now add any additional elements you might like to use.

Now add your name to the tag, I used font WaterBrushRob.

Font size 20,  Stroke Width 1. Foreground the paper used in the mask

sc_sandebetweenmytoes_paper06

and Background Color Code: #324972.

Add a drop shadow if you prefer.

Now add your copyrights and watermark.

Crop your tag to get rid of any access space. Then resize to your preference.

Save as a JPG with the white background or

 hide the main white background layer and save as a PNG (for transparent background)

You are now done! OR move to the next step for animation.
