Irish Coffee - Inkscape and SCAL

How about a little Irish Coffee to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?  YUMMY.  In the one I actually cut I used patterned/blended paper for the coffee so that the cream and coffee blended together.  Unfortunately my printer isn't playing nice and I got a "frappe" since the brown printed more rasberry...hmmmm another idea for the file's use.  DIY and download a pattern image from the internet and resize as needed, save as .jpg and place on your mat (you know how to do this don't you?)


You can also make the decal clover more of an etched look if you do the clover as a cut away (path/difference in Inkscape) so the coffee color shows through....just an idea.


If you are really adventuresome try a print/cut technique.  Both SCAL and MTC have the feature and you could save all the paper piecing and glue.  For you digistampers do a cut on white and color away!


Hope you get some use of this.

What a great title. You have certainly made me look outside my comfort zone, and, yes, I have learned from your blog. Thank you.

I have been meaning to find time for days to visit your blog and catch up with all your posts. I learn a lot from you site, pity I can't learn how to actually draw a design.
The Irish coffee file looks great, thanks for sharing. As part of a family of coffee addicts this file will get used for sure.

Hi Susan, me again. The link states there is no file to download at 4shared.

Carolyn, the link seems to be fixed now. There have been number of downloads so don't know why it works sometimes but not others.

Thanks for letting me know.
