Cuadro familia Halloween

To make the design we have to follow the following steps:

• Create a rectangle of the measurements that we want our painting, I chose 260 x 180 mm. 
• We create its outline in 20 and save a copy of it that we will place on the next page, this will be the base. 
• We go back to the first sheet, select both shapes and click on combine, subtract in superimposition. In this way both shapes will be united. 
• We go to shapes, festival and choose the first two shapes that correspond to spider webs. We place the first shape in the upper left corner and another equal one on the right. Place the second shape in the top center. Now we have to play with the position and size of the shapes until we get them to our liking. Once we have it, we select everything and click on combine and join. This way it will be attached to the shape of the frame. In the shape of the center we will add a long and narrow rectangle simulating the thread of the spider web from which a spider will hang. We insert the image of a spider that we like and place it at the end of the thread. Select all the shapes and click on combine and join. 
• We are going to write the text "Happy Halloween" and select the typography and size that we like the most. Let's create your outline of 5. When we have it, we are going to place it in the lower center of the frame, centered. We select both shapes and click on combine and join. We already have everything as one form. We leave the letters aside and then cut. 
• Now let's go with the characters. We insert the image of a ghost, in this case we copy it to have two. In this case I inserted the image of a puppy because that's my family but if you want to put children you can copy the ghosts and make as many copies as you want. The children will be made smaller. 
• Ghost man: I wanted to put some horns and a demon tail so I inserted those images, put them in their place and made a copy of everything (ghost with shapes). On one of the copies we select all the shapes and click on combine join and thus we will have the ghost with the horns and tail integrated. On the other copy we will subtract it to combine and so we will have the horns and the tail to be able to place on top and so that they are in relief. 
• Female ghost: I wanted to call this one a witch so for this I inserted the image of a witch's hat and a broom. We will do the same procedure as before with the horns and tail but this time with the broom and hat.
• Ghost dog: I placed the image of a pumpkin-shaped bag. We will do the same as in the previous ghosts. 
• Finally, we have the eyes. To do this, we create ellipse-shaped circles and place them in their place. We select these to mark (so we will have marked where to paste them later), we will make a copy to cut them. 

We turn on our Xtool, place the material we want to work with, check the parameters (everything to cut except for what we want to mark as well). 

Let our Xtool do the work. 

In my case I turned on the air assistant during the whole process. 

The first thing we will do is paint each of the pieces and let them dry. 

Once everything has dried we will glue everything in its place. 

To do this we will start by gluing the frame to the base. Then we will glue the pieces on the ghosts (the eyes, the broom, the hat, the horns, the tail and the bag). 

Then we will glue the different characters on the painting in the place we like the most. 

Finally, we will glue the spiders and the letters in their corresponding place. 

Once finished, we are going to apply matte spray varnish to the entire surface. 

As in my case I want it to decorate the entrance door, I put some strips of double-sided tape on the back to place it on it. 

If you want to place it as a decorative painting on top of a piece of furniture you can use picture attachment temples. 

We have our Halloween painting ready.

Happy Halloween!
