I’m also going to have some wendslydale and cranberries with crackers because this tutorial has took me so long and proved harder than I thought!! If you using a patterned background you will need to go into layers: add new layer for the second pattern to lay on. Which is free to use and another with a patterned background. However you could also use a patterned background as I explained here and/or change the colour to co-ordinate with your clip art as I showed you here ġ1 Then on the new file (blank or patterned) select Effects: Fill: From file and chose your saved pattern.ġ2 Save your finished work. Which is just a blank scrapbook sized page. Then open a new file, I used my saved scrapbook blank (3600pixels x 3600 pixels 12″ x 12″ 300pixels/inch). png file to keep your transparency when you open the file again. Use slider to move vertical to -300 and hor1zontal to -300.ĩ Repeat the steps in 5 to paste a butterfly in the middle.ġ0 Again make sure in tools rectangle select is highlighted.

Then click on Effects: Distort: Panelling. If you just chose just copy you will paste your invisible image onto your page.Ħ Now go back to the page you created 600pxls x 600pxls and in Edit choose Paste into new layerħ Click on your image and drag it to the middle of the page using the top and side rules as a guide.Ĩ As with 5 Make sure in tools you have rectangle select highlighted. Click on Edit: select all then copy merged. At this point I realise my clip art is too big for my pattern so I click on image: resize then reduce percentage until image is approxiamately 300 pixels x 300 pixels (remember I have set 300 pixels/inch so it depends how big you want your repeat patter to be).ĥ Make sure in tools you have rectangle select highlighted. You may want to save at this point so you can use the blank again (you may need to un tick visible when you open the file again).Ĥ Then open your clip art. You could probabaly use other combinations but this works for me.Ģ Then untick visible in layer properties.ģ Now in layer: Add new layer. I made a new document 600 x 600 pixels, 300 pixels an inch. You could also use clip art you have found on the internet as long as you aren’t breaching any copyrights.ġ In open a new document. This time I’m going to show you how to turn that into patterned paper using. Last time I showed you how to make clip art with your own drawing or photo.
