1 tube of choice – I used the wonderful artwork of Racheel Tallamy which can be purchased from Up Your Art.  You must have a license to use.

Font of choice – I used Waterfalls 

Becky Mask 22 here

Plug Ins used:
DSB Flux - Bright Noise

“On a Tropical Breeze” is a tagger size scrap kit created by me, Bev of HorsePlay's Pasture Designs and can be purchased from either of my stores Scraps from the Heart or Heartbeatz Creationz.  You can visit my designing blog here. 
  
This tutorial was written assuming you have working knowledge of PSP. 

~~ Let’s get started ~~

Open up a 700 x 700 blank canvas.
Flood fill white.

Copy and paste E33 as a new layer.
Resize 75%
Click inside of it with your Magic Wand.
Selections/Modify/Expand by 4.
New Raster layer below the frame.
Copy and paste Paper 3 Into Selection.
Deselect for now.

Copy and paste the following elements below the frame and move them all into position - see my tag for reference.  Don't worry about what overhangs the frame.  We'll clean that up in a bit.
E4:  Resize 60%
Paste E4 again:  Resize 85%/Change the Properties to Luminance (Legacy) and lower the Opacity to about 16
E5:  Resize 60%/Duplicate (move up a little and behind the lighthouse)
