This how to is a little more about tips and tricks in XCS for creating your own clip-art like drawings to use in your designs.


This is a cutting board layout I made for a special Santa Claus Charcuterie Board, but I didn't have any clip art I could use that was free to use/share so I wanted to show you how I use XCS to make my own art work when needed.


The final XCS file is attached here and the sample created art work is included for you to use.

I finished the board with a wipe down of cutting board oil (food safe mineral oil).
