To make this design I started with a tree silhouette from google images. I then imported the picture into XCS v2 and used the editing features to remove the background and erase any unwanted areas.

Once you have the tree outline you will need to draw two rectangles to create the boarder. I was using 300x300mm materiel so I made the largest rectangle 295x195mm and the smaller one 285x185 to give a 5mm boarder on all sides.

Next you should centre the tree with the rectangles and use the combine feature to create one continuous shape.

I used 3mm black MDF from a local laser supplies store but this design can be cut from any material.

Once cut I used a clear spray lacquer to protect and add a smooth shiny surface to the finished art work. 

Once you have cut all three sections your art work can now be mounted on the wall or framed.

I used self adhesive picture hanging strips to avoid seeing any fixings when mounting these designs to the wall.
