My first SCAL cut using inkscape!



I am so excited. I finally tried my hand at inkscape and SCAL.(Thanks to Pam and some others who have posted help) I have cut some true type fonts in the past but this is my very first attempt at a file. It was relatively easy but it's also easy to see how it can get challenging. I modified the girl with the blankie and teddy bear from A Child's Year to create a bunny...well sort of. I think I am going to love having the new upgraded SCAL...It has layers and grouping and along with inkscape the possibilities are HUGE! But the basics are still pretty easy to use so if you are on the fence don't worry. Just go step by step! *edited to add that I do not intend to copy any images for use without purchase. This was an exercise only and I used one of the simplest images I could find. I plan on using inkscape for combining text and images I already own with my SCAL program which I feel does not infringe on any copyrights. It would not only be illegal but also unchristian to copy and use any images on carts not owned. Integrity is what you do when no one is watching! Thanks, it's just what I feel I have to do...
