Help with SVG file

Post by gymnastmommy »

I'm trying to make invitations for my daughter's gymnastics birthday party. I have been working in inkscape for days with an image of a diecut I have, but can't seem to get the nodes positioned properly! Every time I try to cut out the image, the face looks funny--all wide and smooshed, not the round face in the original file. Does anyone have any tips for me? What am I doing wrong? HELP! Please....

Just keep working with the nodes until you get it to look like you want it. There are 3 different types of nodes and using them helps shape the image. Without seeing it, there is no specific info I can give you.

I would love to see what you came up with, my two and four year old boys are in Kidnastics at the local university and I would love some ideas for their final show day (to give to grandparents)
