Girafapegacorn--Turn Artwork into a Shirt!

 T-SHIRT WEEK! Giraffapegacorn! Turn Artwork into a Shirt!  My daughter is quite the imaginative artist! I went through some of her sketches and found the mythical Giraffapegacorn! It's part Giraffe, Pegasus, and Unicorn!   So I decided to turn it into a t-shirt for her!  Okay technical stuff. I scanned the image and imported it into Photoshop. I added a layer and traced the entire image with the brush tool. (I made a couple changes to help it translate better for vinyl) This way, it wouldn't be all pixelated. It could be imported into Silhouette Studio, but it would need some cleaning up. If you are ironing on text, reverse the image! Place the vinyl, plastic side down, on the cutting mat. Settings for flocked vinyl...knife depth of 3.  I used black flocked heat transfer vinyl and put it in the Silhouette Cameo. Then the excess is weeded out.  Removing all the inside parts too.   Gildan sent me some great T-shirt...
