For this project I created a circular design that incorporates an eagle and the American flag. The first step was to outline the design.
Step 2: Create a cutout
Next we needed to add in a circle around the shape to use as a path to cut out the design. I added this as a different layer so that it is easier to work with.
Step 3: Backing
I also added a copy of the circle cutout to serve as the backing piece. I added this to another canvas so that it can be cut out separately.
Step 4: Add in Text

I then added in text to show the message “Happy Independence Day” I selected to engrave the text and then added an outline.
