Here is a baby name collage I created for my coworker. Her first grand daughter made her debut in September. I knew the room had a jungle theme but did not know the name or if I should work in blue or pink. Here is where I start -by getting a photo of the bedding.
I do a rough layout in Adobe Illustrator. I like being able to move things around on the computer. Plus I can see how big to make my elements & type. I then save out the elements as SVGs and import into Sure Cuts Alot (SCAL) & cut on my Cricut.
From there I build the collage. Here are few closeups of the SVG Cuts elements - these are from the Cuddly Animals Collections - absolutely perfect for this jungle theme.
I then add in the Creative Charms. I used the new Vintage Jewels. The tear drop shapes were perfect for the elephant and the flowers are a nice to touch to make the collage more appropriate for a girl.
Here is the final collage...
Thanks for stopping by!
This is awesome and will remember your step by step tutorial. I don't have Illustrator, but Inkscape will do for now. Thanks again Amy!
