January 2013 Guest Tips and Tricks - Making A Handcrafted Valentine Card

[Gare]

O/T. sort of, but I wanted to post a Xara drawing I did that's appropriate to 2/14/2013:

I used the Freehand tool, and kept the accuracy high to produce a lot of unwanted, random segments.

Then I used the Rounded Bevel on almost all the shapes, and used a fabric fill from a photo I took on most of the shapes.



The font is Linotype's Kismet, very popular in the 1960s, might be time for a revival!

Happy Valentine's Day, all,

Gary
