Inskcape tutorial: Basic
If you would still like to practice more with the potential that this free software has for your digi scrapbooking projects but don't want to jump into the deep waters of a very invloved and difficult tutorial, here is a basic one for beginners to get your feet wet in this vector software's potential.
By the way, the star in my illustration was a made with the star polygon tool (choose the number of points or spokes you want for yours), I colored it
a bright medium pink. Then I selected it and went Filters, Shadows and Glows, then Glow.
Then, to give it an interesting texture, go to Filters, Materials, Enamel Jewelry and then you just save it.
Enjoy!
