Move the stem and flower out of the way below the screen, so the camera doesn't pick them up. Place the cut image on the material on the screen and set the settings for cut ( 90 power, 30 speed)

Once cut out, remove the pieces you don't need. Remove the wood and replace with the green acrylic.

Place the image of the stem on the acrylic on the screen and set the cut settings. ( 30 power, 10 speed)

Do the same with the flower itself and use the red acrylic.

Once everything is cut out, insert the acrylic into the wooden flower. Use another flat piece of wood and turn the whole flower upside down. Place pieces of 3M double sided tape on the back of the flower and place it on another piece of wood with a frame. The frame is a piece of walnut wood, that i cut out to fit the same size as the bottom wood, to create the frame, but you can also use an existing frame if you have one.

Hope you like this *how to* and create one for yourself.
