Basic Information is loading...
Step 1: Starting with the sheep

Insert a picture of the sheep. Remove the background and remove part of the top of the head.

Step 2: The hat

Insert the image of the hat. Remove the background. Place it on the sheep's head, to see if it fits or have to make adjustments to make it fit. Set the settings to engrave and group the hat and sheep. Click on outline and set it to zero. Then group it again.

Step 3: The circle and clovers

Insert a circle and place the circle around the sheep image.

Insert the clover image and make it to size. Then copy and paste the clover and put it on the line of the circle. Keep repeating till the circle line is filled with clovers.

Once that is done, you can move the circle and set it aside. 

Do the same with the sheep and group all the clovers, so they can't move.

Set the settings to engrave.

Then put the circle and sheep back in place.

Step 4: Flower

Insert the image of a flower and copy and paste it. Revert the pasted image so it is mirrored.

Do that 2 more times. Make 2 of the flowers smaller.

Place it into the circle and place them where you like it.

Set all the flowers settings to engrave.

 

Step 5: Outer circle

Insert a circle and place it into the existing circle, but make it smaller.

You will have 2 circles now. Hoover your mouse over both and click group.

Set the settings for cut. That piece will be the outer border.

Step 6: Engraving and cutting the piece

Start by engraving and cutting out the sheep. Then engrave and cut out the circle with the clovers and flowers.

Cut out the border circle.

I used posca paint markers. Once that is dry you can glue the sheep on the circle and then glue the outer border onto the circle and your project is done.
