Flower Cart - Inkscape

Sorry it has been so long, just in a "no creativity" funk.  Finally I got excited and made this flower cart card.  I'm sharing the cart, not the rest of it.  You'll have to "fish for yourself" to make it into the card.  I used Inkscape to do the background, one of my files for the flower basket and a font for the text.


Resources:
Font:  Flores (it's free just google font Flores)
Flowers and pot 
Download the  Flower Cart

The background for the card is a filter in Inkscape called clouds.  You can create the backgound and do a screen capture or convert to .bmp to print out for your card. I just added some circles to the top of the background paper and did a path/union to create the scallop effect and in SCAL I "placed" the background paper and then overlayed the scalloped shape on top and did a print/cut.


I hope to see someone create a file using the flower cart.  If you'd let me see it I'd really appreciate it.


Hoping you learn how to fish with this really nice design.


Just a reminder I use Inkscape 0.48, SCAL 2.040 and a Cricut Expressions on a Mac.

I grabbed this one too, thank you. I have a few ideas for the cart and will send you a pic.
I hope you get your creativity back soon as I rely on you for unique files. If you have spare creativity send some my way, as mine has gone walkabout.
