The digital paper will be covering the text. Select the digital paper and copy (Ctrl + C) and paste (Ctrl + V) it onto your canvas with your text. Next, click “Ok” to open the digital paper in a new window. You can leave the selections as is or make adjustments. You will automatically see the Image Import window popup in Inkscape. We will be using one of the papers from the Mermaid Glitter Digital Paper bundle. Find the digital paper you want to use and click the “Open” button. Now we will import the selected digital paper. Step 4 - Import and adjust the digital paper To ensure this step is done correctly, the bottom of Inkscape should show “Path” and then the number of nodes. Select all items or letters and go to Path > Union to make them all one object. Step 3 - Use Union to make all items one path

Hold down the Ctrl key and drag the corner to resize the letters, if desired. To ensure this step is done correctly, the bottom of Inkscape should show the number of “objects selected of type path” instead of “text”. Click on “Font Bundles” to select the text.

Step 2 - Change the word or phrase from text to a path We typed out “Font Bundles” using the Benji font. Choose your font and type out any word or phrase you want. Let us begin by clicking on the text tool in the left toolbar. In this tutorial, we are using Mermaid Glitter Digital Paper and the Benji font by Missy Meyer. We will show you how to quickly add patterns to text in Inkscape. With digital paper you can create a beautiful textured fill. Adding patterns to text is an easy way to create designs for stickers or sublimation.
