I recommend CorelDRAW x4 for this tutorial...I have used CMYK color mode as it is default mode in CorelDraw.

Also activate snap to object (Alt+Z)... this will make your lines more accurate....

this tutorial seems to be written for people who have a good working knowledge of the program you are using.

maybe a few screen shots of where to find the tools you are talking of would make this tutorial more user friendly.

A few screenshots of the tools and I could have worked it out. But, no luck anyways.
