Skater's on a Pond - Inkscape Silhouette

This is what it looks like CUT in black heavy cardstock.

Whilst cleaning the garage last week I came upon some old wrapping paper that had all these skaters and some trees.  I scanned and then spent a few hours cleaning them up and separating them  Now what, well of course you put them on a card.


Hours later after fighting "negative" space and reworking, and reworking I finally got it properly union'd together. Spatially I am inept and it was a bit frustrating.  I've done several of this type of image but never with so much white space and so many characters to size and place.  I'm thinking of doing a video to show you how it is done, or not!


The size is 6 x 4" to fit on a 5x7" card. A fair amount of weeding on this small size.  I cut it over and over again taking out detail that didn't show up much anyway.  If you are going to cut larger, say for a glass block or a mirror, you can add in more.  It's only nodes you know.

This is the screen capture.

I think it will be very pretty when  finished.  I see glitter on the ice and some snow on the trees.....Yeah right, like I'm gonna do that.


Needless to say but I could have cut all the pieces separately and made it easier to construct, but where's the fun in that when you hone you skills and exercise your mind.


Disclaimer:  I haven't done vinyl so can't say how all the detail will cut, but maybe in large size.  I also cut only with Sure Cuts Alot (SCAL2 on the Cricut Expression) so can't say how it will do on a CraftRobo, nor what MTC does with it.  You could let me know of course.


I sure hope you find some use for it and would love to see how YOU do it.
