Information
      Paris, the City of Love, is a perfect backdrop for a Valentines Project.  Years ago I saw a print of the city in black and white and a red umbrella lying in the street.  I love the play of colors so I decided to create one of my own.

Step1: Backdrop

I created a box 9x9 so this project could fit in an inexpensive frame I had lying around.  This was programed to cut. 

Then I added the pieces that would be engraved.

In order to create the backdrop I used the AI feature in XCS.   I described the photo as city street lined with trees leading to Eiffel Tower.   The design had cars on the street which I removed using the edit tool.

I found a free file using a google search of XOXOXO .  I copied and pasted it to the boarder of the piece.  The top ones being slightly larger in order to fit.

 I inserted the words Je T'aime and placed it in the lower left of the picture.

I processed this file on the riser base.

Step2: Forefront

For this step I changed to the baseplate.  I taped the wood down so it would not shift under the movement of the printer function.  

Using the app, I took a picture of the project and imported it onto my screen.  Then I was able to place the last two items.

The couples kissing was one of 3 generated for this and another project using AI in XCS.   My description was a couple kissing with her foot raised (all of them gave me both persons foot raised).  

I added the couple and sized it appropriate to where I wanted it.  I set the engrave settings deeper than the backdrop so it would cover what was already there.

I found the red umbrella in a set of pictures on my hard drive.  I had to remove the handle in edit to make it work.  Then I sized an positioned it over the couple.  I made multiple passes with the ink to cover the backdrop.

Once completed I placed the design in a frame I had in my wood collection,
