In this video I cover every aspect of creating this beautiful mandala. From importing a design in Lightburn, resizing the design so it will fit on my sublimation paper. To generating slightly larger svg in lightburn for export to Affinity Designer. We do the design from start to finish in Lightburn and Affinity Designer. I don’t leave out any parts. This video would be great for someone that want to learn more about how how the laser and sublimation process fit hand in hand.
