Up for any more challenges? I have one or two more images in mind.

Ideally, a higher resolution image would work better on that one, but it can be done if you change your Inkscape trace threshold to 0.15 for the red and white pieces. The halo is much lighter, so I did a second trace at a threshold of 0.9 that I used for the black base and the halo. There are 1 or 2 places where you will need to connect lines-either with the node tool in Inkscape, or in a photo editing program before tracing. I have attached a layered svg file that you can use directly in SCAL2. If you are using SCAL1, open the file in Inkscape and move the pieces so that they will all fit on your cutting mat.

After many $$$ I spent on my shape cartridges, I finally got the freedom to cut whatever I want with my personal die-cut machine with SCAL. Like you, I take this freedom seriously. Although SCAL is a great tool to let you cut right off the bat any true type font, I started to notice that the shapes require some decent amount of work before the real fun of cutting begins. Not all of us are graphic artists by trade. The vector images available on the web are not good for cutting as you need many layers to get a simple image through.
Long story short, out of desperation, I am taking matters in my own hands. I love to create cuttable images SVGs with the highest quality and excellent results similar to the ones you will get with the cartridges (only here you get what you want, when you want it). I am ready to share the love with all other SCAL fans for quality shapes. Doesn't matter if you have a blog , business or just cut for fun, I am glad to turn around the images to you within 24 hours. (FREE on this forum). Just ask for what you need on the forum or email me at Cuts2Die4@gmail.com. Checkout some of my recent contributions on this forum:

This is what I am offering to you (pick what you like):
1) Make A Wish: Just ask for anything, I will search/create the image, create the SVG vector (layers if necessary), develop a SCAL library to organize all your SVG layers in one file, and deliver the best quality possible in light speed
2) Challange Me: Give me a sample image to work with, any image will work. I will even accept digital photos. (photos may loose many details, but I will keep the theme same). I will turn these around within 48 hours
3) Draw it Yourself: If you have an image in mind that is unique and doesn't exist, Just draw it on a piece of paper , scan the sketch and email me your art in any file format. JPG, PNG, TIFF, Word Doc,... etc. I will take care of the rest.
All the results will be posted on the forum so that others may also use them. So go ahead, imagine and let me help you make them reality for your crafting projects.

I am creating entire set for Halloween images for display starting first week of September. I will post the link to downloadable gallery on this forum by September 6th. If you are in need of these images before hand, let me know and I will try to expedite the process for your specific images.budafam wrote:I'm looking for a coffin card.

I am so in love to do more images for you. I like your taste and creativity from your blog. Will love to see what else you have for me. Send me your dream images to convert for SCAL. I will make them reality to some extentsouthernbellescrap wrote:Oh I Love her!!!! I added some Stickles glitter glue for some bling. I think she is so awesome! I can never thank you enough!!!!!!
