Items you will need to complete this project:
The Magical Sea taggers kit by Chili Designz, This is a PTU kit that is available at Stargazer Scraps.
Tube of choice. I am using Blue Lagoon, by Jay Trembly. This is a PTU tube, and you must have a license to use this tube, which is available at Up Your Art.
The Oceans 6 mask by Cameron. This is a free to use mask that may be download from Cameron Tags. (Resources -> Masks -> Ocean collection).
Font(s) and/or alpha of choice. I am using Century Gothic which is a Windows System font. If you do not have it, you can download it HERE.
I am also using the Dreams Beach alpha by Digiscrap.ch. This is a free to use alpha that may be downloaded at the link provided.
Note that H# and V# refer to horizontal and vertical coordinates on your canvas ruler grid. Make sure you have View -> Rulers checked in order to see the ruler grid.
When I say "Add to your canvas" I expect that you will copy and paste it as a new layer, unless otherwise stated in the tutorial.
This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP. It was written using PSP X3, but should work in PSP 8 and up.
To begin, open a new raster layer canvas, 800 x 800 pxl, flood fill white.
Open paper of choice. I am using CHILI_DESIGNZ_Magical_Sea_paper6. Resize to 800 x 800 pixels. Layers -> Load/Save Mask -> Load mask from disk and select mask of choice. I am using Mask Cameron Ocean 6. Make sure the fit to canvas box is checked, then click on load.
Edit -> Copy Special -> Copy Merged and add to main canvas, centered.
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Magical_Sea_foliage and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas centered at H250, V350.
open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Magical_Sea_foliage2 and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H450, V350.
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Magical_Sea_foliage3 and resize to 75%. Mirror Add to main canvas, centered at H600, V400.
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Magical_Sea_shell3. Flip and mirror. Add to main canvas, centered at H300, V600.
Right click on the shell3 layer on the Layers pallet and duplicate. Mirror. Relocate the mirrored image to H500, V500.
Open tube of choice. I am using Blue Lagoon by Jay Trembly. Copy the Tube JT0040 Blue Lagoon layer and add to main canvas, centered at H450, V350.
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Magical_Sea_water and resize to 65%. Mirror, and to main canvas, centered at H400, V675. Using your eraser tool, erase the bits of the tube that fall below the water line. Return to top layer.
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Magical_Sea_shell2 and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H325, v625
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Magical_Sea_shell and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H475, V550.
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Magical_Sea_starfish and resize to 50%. Add to main canvas, centered at H550, V600.
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Magical_Sea_bill and resize to 50%. Rotate right. On your materials pallet, set both your foreground and your background color to brown (#481a14).
Using font of choice, add copyright information to the tag. For the Blue Lagoon tube, that information is:

I am using Century Gothic, 4 points, bold and centered. I also added the optional background credits and tagged by information at this point.
Layers - Merge visible. Rotate right again. On the layers pallet, click on the foliage3 layer, Raster 4, to activate. Resize to 85%, and add the tag to your main canvas, centered at H270, V380.
Starting with the foliage layer, raster 2 on the your layers pallet and working upward, add a drop shadow of choice to each of the elements on your main canvas. I am using offsets, verticle and horizontal, of 5 each, opacity of 75%, blur of 15, and color black (#000000).
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Magical_Sea_sparkles and add to main canvas, centered.
You should now save the artist's copy of your tag as a .pspimage file.
Using font or alpha of choice add desired name to tag. I am using the Dreams Beach alpha (1 & 2) by Digiscrap.ch. I have my name centered at H550, V625. As the alpha comes with a built in drop shadow, I did not add another one. However, if you are using a different font or alpha, you may wish to add a drop shadow to match the rest of the tag.
Merge visible and resize to 75% (600 x 600 pixels). Save as a .jpg file and you are all done.
