Making A Diamond - Oval Design

Something I came up with to composite a jpg into. I started with a 300x350 white background

Draw: Ellipse 190,175 100,125 0,360 Stroke Color #9c8c59 (your choice) Stroke Width 2

Now you will draw a diamond using a fill color of white Stroke and Width same as before

You can use Polyline or Path (same numbers except with Path you start with the letter M - no M for Polyline)

Path: M10,170 125,25 235,170 120,325 10,170

You can change the background after you've completed your project by matting out the white and using Dstover and Misc, and composit a patterned background or start with a patterned bg (optional). Now once you've completed your drawing, Matte out the diamond and ellipse

Find a jpg and composite using just Dstover and then you can go to Decorate and put a frame around if you want.
