Anyone know how to apply a mask/design within a curve (like stripes [the designs] on a candy cane [the curve])?


Recommended Posts

Normally, I add masks/designs to shapes by first creating the shape and then dragging another layer with designs to that shape/layer (the designs layer is then shown below the shape layer and to the right).

I used the pencil tool to create a curve, which has a slight outline/border around the curve (the shape layer).  Now I want to add designs/stripes/shapes on top of that curve, but they need to stay within the outline/border of the curve, not outside of it.

 

A candy cane is the perfect example: I used the pencil tool to create the white cane, but now I can't figure out how to add the red stripes so that they are only shown inside the white cane (actually inside the slight outline/border around the white candy cane).

I also need to be able to use shapes as the actual designs/stripes.  So the white cane is a curve with a slight border/outline made by the pencil tool, and the red stripes need to be actual shapes (all in vector).

 

Thanks so much for your time.

You can clip vector layers by dragging the layer across the top of the other layer.
