This is a Christmas decorated cutting board for Santa's Special Visit on Christmas Eve.
I am showing the layout of my design but I wanted to focus on how you can make your own unique clip-art designs inside of XCS using a couple simple techniques.

This how to is a little more about tips and tricks in XCS for creating your own clip-art like drawings to use in your designs.

This is a cutting board layout I made for a special Santa Claus Charcuterie Board, but I didn't have any clip art I could use that was free to use/share so I wanted to show you how I use XCS to make my own art work when needed.

The final XCS file is attached here and the sample created art work is included for you to use.

Step 2

Making the Art Work

The easiest way to show you how I created the simple clip art is in a video walking you through the steps.
