Valentine Couple in Silhouette - Inkscape

I can't tell you how many iterations I went through for this final piece, but I learned a bunch about adjusting nodes and filters too.  I chose a silhouette for the mannequins as I don't do well at faces and hair but with all the separate pieces you give it a go.


There are multiple cut pieces plus the stripe background paper.  I printed the background and the black and white hearts onto matte photo paper. Everything else is paper piecing, of course you can cut the big hearts too.


Download just the .png file to print the whole thing as is.


TIP


When you finish a multi piece design create a new file and cut and paste the different elements onto the new file in order, I used back to front.  The effect was that when I imported it into SCAL it came in layers in the order I wanted making it easier to find and turn off the layers as I cut the pieces. On this file you could rearrange by color too.




Happy Valentines Day
