McKay, if you happen to see this, please remember that you can't be too detailed in a tutorial about inkscape, even for those of us that know the program well. Since you're mainly dealing with artistic techniques, it's VERY important to at least take a SCREENSHOT of parameters so filters, extensions etc. can be duplicated if you skimp on step-by-step details in a given section. That being said, thank you for bringing more attention to an awesome program.

That will clip the edges of the inkblot so it fits in the box.<br /><br />Hope this helps. I like this tutorial, very nice looking card. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720051712770628368.post-50163920733264220082015-03-09T16:05:39.326-06:002015-03-09T16:05:39.326-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769814669107379816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720051712770628368.post-26753870140594006752014-10-12T19:28:31.015-06:002014-10-12T19:28:31.015-06:00Spoken like a TRUE Professional!Spoken like a TRUE Professional!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720051712770628368.post-37485536078657372772014-06-17T07:27:45.988-06:002014-06-17T07:27:45.988-06:00nice tutorial but I got lost when you said free dr...nice tutorial but I got lost when you said free draw the outline..using what? and how do you make it that thick?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720051712770628368.post-15175801463720014952013-11-23T19:26:18.239-07:002013-11-23T19:26:18.239-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720051712770628368.post-70708795656151031262013-11-19T22:27:54.636-07:002013-11-19T22:27:54.636-07:00This was awesome.

I'm great up to applying the Inkblot filter. <br /><br />What layer is the freehand outline supposed to be on? The text layer? A separate layer? I am completely unable to make the text box look as if it has faded fringe edges... It's crazy that I could probably put together a tutorial doing this using pixelmator and masks but I can't even follow this easy Inkscape tutorial... It's probably because I am using a Mac.

I am somewhat new to inkscape but have a decent handle on it. Just not sure what layer everything is supposed to be on. For cutting the letters out of the rectangle, the rectangle had to be on a different layer from the text (which you didn't mention), so now I'm not sure if I have everything on the right layer...I can't get the border to show up properly. When I set the layer to screen mode it just shows up below all the other layers.bryce k rafflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12260256812059057816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720051712770628368.post-16047372362427569642011-07-27T03:17:48.009-06:002011-07-27T03:17:48.009-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.id scannerhttp://www.scanshell-store.com/software_idscan.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720051712770628368.post-36177488516596018142011-06-11T07:49:01.112-06:002011-06-11T07:49:01.112-06:00Great tutorial for agreat bit of software.
