Kara’s workshop panel features a flowing script over a pattern of fall leaves.
The bottom border was created as a flat relief and a slight dome was added to the centre.
The text’s outline of the lettering was also created as a flat relief and then modified using a similar sized oval.
The lettering border and the plaque were created separately so they could be floated intoto final position after the leaf texture was applied.
The maple leaf bitmap texture is another from our Texture Magic: Classic Collection. When applying the texture in EnRoute, it’s important to remember that the whites raise the highest, then the greys and the black does nothing.
After applying the texture, the lettering’s border was nudged into position vertically and then merged with the background.
Finally the bevelled script lettering was added finishing the file.
The panel was routed from 1.5" 30 lb. Precision Board HDU in about 30 minutes. This heavy board leaved superb detail and requires little finishing.
