I used the following scripts and overlays which were created by Chris of Katelynn’s Designs to make all the elements in this tutorial:

Beach Overlays

Dock Script

Life Saver Frame Script

Water Lilly Script

Be sure to stop by Chris’ blog to check out more of her awesome work and find links to her stores for purchase.

This tutorial was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.

~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

This is the color pallet I chose to use:

Run all scripts to create the elements.  Create 2 starfish, each a different color.

If you don’t know how to run a script go here for a written tutorial.  It’s quite easy and running a script is always so amazing to sit back and watch!

Use the Beach Water 7 Overlay on an 800 x 800 canvas using the blue color from my color pallet.

Once you have all scripts run and saved as PNG’s flood fill a 700 x 700 blank canvas with #ffffff. 

Copy and paste Life Saver as a new layer.

Resize 25% and 80%

Click inside of it with your Magic Wand.

New Raster layer below the frame.

Copy and paste the Overlay Into Selection.

Arrange the rest of the elements using my tag as reference.

Dock:  Resize 25% and 60% (erase what overhangs the lifesaver)
