Hack of the Week No.104

For those of you that are a fan of the Mother's Garden themed projects you surely will appreciate this one.  We only used 2 models to create this hack: the daisy in the background is the same as the other just flipped and scaled.  Change up the simulated v-carving to create a customized layout for a wedding, housewarming gift or to fit your needs.

This "Mother's Love" wall decoration or brooch was created using models from these projects:

The font we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout is called:  Palatino Linotype

Note - This hack was assembled in Aspire V8 for presentation purposes.  It could have been done in VCarve Pro V8 or VCarve Desktop.

Why not hack together your own layout mixing and matching models from other projects or from your own library!  For some great inspiration check out our  hacks page!

Be safe and let the chips fly!

This "childrens door sign" was created using models from these projects:

The font we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout is called:  Candara
