With your top layer of text selected, Go to the Fill tab and click on the X option (this removes the blue fill color). Open up the Fill and Stroke panel by using the Shift + Ctrl + F shortcut. That’s all we’ll be doing to the bottom layer! Lock it back up, and unlock the top blue layer. Just like earlier go to Path > Object to Path, then Path > Combine. Once you have the text enlarged to the size you want, you’ll need to turn its new shape into a fresh vector object. The upper blue layer is still hanging out on top. Remember, this is the bottom layer, which I left black. Click and drag upward on that diamond in order to make the text uniformly larger. Go to Path > Dynamic Offset.Īll of the nodes should disappear, leaving you with a dashed line around the text, and one solitary little diamond along the top. Now we’re going to do an offset on that lower layer of text.
That Paste in Place stacked them perfectly!) (It looks like the top layer is selected, but it's actually the bottom layer selected. You’ll have all of the nodes in your vector object show up as little gray diamonds. Select your bottom layer of text with the Edit Paths by Nodes tool (just below the regular black arrow on the left-side toolbar). Lock down that top layer, and unlock the bottom layer again. Use Edit > Paste in Place this pastes your copy exactly on top of the original text.Ĭhange the color of the top layer of text to whatever you like, as long as it’s different from the bottom layer color. In the Layers panel (Shift + Ctrl + L to get that panel to pop up, if you don’t keep it up in your toolbar I think on a Mac, you substitute the Cmd key for the Ctrl key.) click on the blue plus sign to add a new layer.Ĭopy your text from layer 1, then lock layer 1 (click on the little padlock icon) and selectlayer 2. Next up, you’ll want to create a second layer. This takes those six smaller vector objects and combines them into one big vector object. This converts the typed text into six vector objects, one for each letter. With your text selected, first to go Path > Object to Path. Next up, we need to turn the letters from typeable text into vector objects: We’ll start out in Inkscape, typing out our word: The effect is done in the same way in both programs mostly just the terminology for the steps is different. Today we’ll take a look at how to get the same effect in both Inkscape and Illustrator. While there are a few fonts out there with this look, it’s also an effect you can apply to ANY font. Here’s a look that popped up recently, with someone asking where they could find a font with stitches in it.
