HELP Inkscape when you want a black base LESSSON Part 2

This is another variation on yesterday posting Part 1 PLUS BONUS turning it into stand up card

I found that with the lesson part one is ok unless your mat was too small or you wanted to do other things with it like make extra shadowing. Here is what i do for that
it is just a few extra steps but soo easy
**________________________________________________________________________**
On part one i added a red line as where you work down to and then move to this part
Now you select each colour section (one colour at a time)

Go option and group

To the next colour

Go option group for all of the different colours

Highlight and copy the first colour (base)

Get new document

And paste

File save as

save as base ------.svg then close that one

now click and copy next colour

open new document paste , file and save as

best to save this as a (colour)+name of thing.svg then close

go to next colour and copy

open new document paste , file and save as

best to save this as a (colour)+name of thing.svg then close

go to next colour and copy , open new document paste , file and save as

best to save this as a (colour)+name of thing.svg then close

NOW to sure cuts a lot open , file, import improt BASE make it the size you want

Now file import One of the colour layers

You have to adjust the size over the top of the base and leave it there for NOW

Now file import One of the other colour layers

adjust the size over the top of the base and leave it there for NOW

Continue those sets till you have them all looking the right size

Move them all now around your mat so as they are in spots on your mat so you can put the card on your real mat in place so as they cut
(Please note that i have only a baby cricut and i will not have room for all pieces so i now have to move the base to new mat)
Highlight base if it does not fit copy and cut from this mat

So your mat is ready

Save this mat as ---------.scut

Open new project and paste base it will paste the same size as you cut it from other mat.
then save project as ---------base.scut AND NOW READY TO CUT OUT .

Bonus stand up card
after i cut that out i decided that it needed to go on stand up shape card so i used the base
pasted it onto new project and made shadow (1), moved that to the right hand side so as it met at the center line,weld button, copied, pasted, weld, flip and lined it up with the one on the right side on the left side of the center line (so they slightly over laped

added a retangle along bottom under the image slightly overlapping and weld
(please note in this one i had to slight rotate the bases so as the 4 wheels touched the rectangle. I used the rotate degrees for this NOT free hand that way i would then make sure they were both the same )

CUT added mats to the rectangle and added words enjoy

THESE are not as hard as it looks they are easy it just looks hard as there are soo many pictures BUT i had to do as many pictures as i could so i could show every step PLEASE don't be put off by the size of the blogging of the lesson it is quick
