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

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.
