This is one of my projects I did when I first got my machine. I have no idea how to digitize really so I played around with the designs and Corel and they actually came out nice. Some were designs I had and some I did myself. I auctioned it off on a forum for someone who is very sick and gave the money to them. I did it on Black Velvet.

Wow, you did a fantastic job on this...Well done...

Thank you so much! Well, it was a process, I made a lot of samples first and then placed them on the velvet to see where they should go. I used tear away stabilizer and solvy on the top so I would not get a crease, which I didn't. I was surprised. I did not rinse the solvy off I just pulled it off the top. It took quite a while to do about 3 weeks on and off. I do have software on my machine that you can take a picture and it will digitize it but doesn't seem to work that well, I used the autopumch, but I really am not sure how to use it so I took some jpg pics into Corel and outlined and filled in the colors and seemed to work pretty good. I really have no idea what I am doing, wish I knew how to digitize. The mountains were sillouette and I did them in blue, the bamboo was sillouette too, and I put in corel and did with colors. The lillypad and fish were designs I had except for the one with the grass, the heron was also a picture and the bonsai was a sillouette that I put in corel and the moon was picture that I found. I drew the birds flying myself.

Happy Easter to all!
