In Progress

Step 2: Create the Design

1: In order to be able to start our Design, we are going to access our Design 

Space application and in there we are going to click on the + New Project Green button located on the top Right corner of our screen.

2: After we clicked in there, we are going to be able to access our Blank Canvas, in where we are going to start creating our Design:

3: We are going to start by using our images functionality and we are going to search for a sunflower:

💡Tip: You can choose any other flower that you want and like.

4: After we added to our canvas, we are going to use the shapes functionality and add a square:

5:We are going to resize the square a little bit bigger than the sunflower, and we are going to positioning the square over the sunflower:

Now, we are going to use the slice functionality:

After applying the slice, you are going to have:

You are going to delete or hide all the elements except the one on the left:

6: Adding another square from the shapes functionality we are going to resize it to the following measurements: H The same as your sunflower image and W: 0.04:

7: We are going to place the small large rectangle that we just created in the previous step touching the middle of the sunflower and we are going to weld them:

💡Tip: This is to create a termination border in the sunflower but you can avoid this step.

8: We are going to use images functionality and we are going to search for a banner and add it to our canvas:

9: We are going to start writing our phase using different fonts:

We are going to use the following fonts for the different words:

  • a Mother -> Buttermilk Font
  • IS LIKE A -> Arial Rounded Bold Font
  • FLOWER -> DIN Condensed Font
  • EACH -> Arial Rounded Bold Font
  • ONE -> Arial Rounded Bold Font
  • Beautiful -> Aguellera Font
  • & -> Apple Chancery Font
  • UNIQUE -> Boomers Love Font

After writing all the text, you should have:

10: Inside the banner that we added previously we are going to place the word flower and we are going to slice them:

After slicing them, you should have:

11: Now, we are going to place all the text next to the sunflowers, and we are going to resize them in different sizes and place them in different positions, something like:

12:  We are going to add some dots next to some of the words:

13: We are going to add some leaves as decor:

14: As a final touch, we are going to add some curls:

15:  After you added all the details, feel free to add more leaves, hearts, dots, anything that you want. After you are done, you are going to select all the elements and weld them together:

💡Tip: This is to avoid any extra cut if one of the elements is touching another, like the curls at the bottom

16: Now, your design is ready to be cut!
