For complex designs that normally use Vinyl you overlap one color over another, with Infusible INK this is not possible! You CAN NOT overlap colors. In order to “overlap” colors you need to slice the base color and put over that blank space the different color. We are going to try this technique with our next design.
1- We are going to search for the Wreath image and add it to our canvas:
2- Once in your canvas, you are going to ungroup the image in order to have the following:
3- We need to make sure that on the 4 layers (red, green, yellow and black) we are going to slice all the elements for the other layers, so when we need to transfer them we can overlap one color over the next one.
In order to slice, you need to select 2 elements put one over the other (you need to make sure that are aligned and/or in the right place) and then you just use the slice functionality:
You need to do several rounds over each layer/color until you are able to have something like this, in where each layer do not contains the any of the designs from any other color:
When you separate the layers, you can notice that each layer is unique and they fit like a puzzle when you overlap them and there are no colors from one layer that they need to be overlap over the previously or the next layer:
