Hey guys this is for my wife; her grandfather recently passed away. She has been looking high and low to find this clip art so she can get a sticker made for her car.. Well long story short if we can have this made into a positive/negitive image see can bring it to a local sticker shop and the guy can put it into his computer and have it cut out for her. She does not want the trees and the clouds just Jesus and the sheep.. any help on this would be greatly appricated... here is what we are working with..

both of those are great thank you but if there is any one in here that can smooth them out just so we have a complete clipart that would be incredible. I know there is some one here that can do this.. and thanks in advance for the help

I'm on it....


Do you want it grayscale, or just pure black and white?

Inkscape can create a standard vector graphics image.

Or else pay a little money for better tracing at VectorMagic.


Which of the pictures posted here did you want to use?

It looks like Xanis has a screenshot of a vector version. PM him and ask if he can send the file to you. Did the printer say what format it should be in?

the one that Xanis did is what I took to the sticker guy I removed the background stuff and we printed it out and when he scanned it it came up with alot of square edges on every thing. so he said his cutter would cut it out just like that and it would look horrible and he would not even attempt it for us.

You need to bring the actual vector file in, not the jpg screenshot of it. jpg is not a vector format.

EDIT: And not a printout of it. Bring the file in, as it doesn't make sense to go from a file to a printout back to a file. You can only lose quality that way.

Yeah, I think it should be a .svg file.
They're pretty nifty - they can be resized, by appropriate software, to any size, and because the lines are vectors, they're calculated automatically to the scale of the new image. Result: You can resize it without any of the blockiness or fuziness that would result from resizing a normal raster image.
