First, delete the background and make the remaining part of the image 7 inches wide. Then make four copies. The first copy is the top so nothing is changed on it. You can hide it if you need the space on the mat for now.
The second copy is the roses layer. Make it red (or whatever color you want your roses). Then with that layer selected, hit the contour button. An image will appear of the whole image. It may take a minute or two. Next, select by clicking or choosing off the list all the parts that are roses. When does it will look like image 1 below. Close the contour window. That layer is now done. You can hide it.
Select the next copy and make that copy light green. Then repeat the above process with the leaves. The leaves are the sections that are sorta oval shapes with the vein (line) in them. When it is done it will look like image 2 below. You can hide that layer now.
Select the last copy and make it dark green. With it selected hit the contour button and then at the bottom hit the hide all contours button. Then close the contour window. This will fill in the whole image. It will look like image 3 below. Unhide all the layers and you are ready to cut. If you want you can center them all and put the layers in order (from top to bottom: top, red, lt. green and dark green)
I used to have a popup when I’d upload an image that was simple, moderate & complex. Did it get removed from DS?
As far as I know it is still there.
