Hello, hello - Karen here with a tutorial about a background I made recently. Well truth be told I was stuck in a hotel room with a husband in the throws of a migraine and nothing to amuse myself with but my tablet, which of course has Silhouette software on it.
I decided to try and make a bespoke background using circles and snowflakes.
- The first thing I did was to draw a series of different sized circles and arranged them on my design space.
- I then added an offset of 0.125
- This was the result.
- The next step was to highlight all the shapes and make them into a compound path.
- I then filled each circle with a snowflake, making sure that the points of the snowflake overlapped the edge of each centre circle.
- Once all the circles were filled I selected all and merged the shapes and this was the result.
All that was left to do was to cut my design from adhesive backed cardstock, add to a piece of patterned paper and it was ready to make my page.
Would you consider doing a tutorial on how to navigate the silhouette on the tablet? I have tried to use but can’t figure it out. Thanks
ReplyDeleteMy tablet has a clip on keyboard with a tracker pad so that makes it much easier. I will ask the other ladies on the DT if they can be of help.
