Hi,
I have found this tuto about creating a rubber stamp effect:
http://howto.nicubunu.ro/rubber_stamp_inkscape/
It says I should do an intersection between the image and the calligraphic drawing, but for me it doesn't work.., I mean, Inkscape doesn't do any intersection..Of course I select both objects before trying the intersection.
I attach a file.

Hi Javi,
If you check the Inkscape status bar, I'll bet it tells you that "one of the objects is not a path".
I think the tutorial was written for an earlier version of Inkscape, when converting text to a path resulted in a single path object. With 0.48 it actually produces a group of paths. So you need to select the text, convert to path, ungroup, then Path > Union to convert it to a single path.
Once you've done that you have two single path objects and the intersection should work.

The text is a group of paths. First select the text and combine them into one path (Path->Combine, Ctrl-K). Next, click on the canvas to deselect and exit the group. Select the text again (this time the status bar will show that a group is selected). Remove group (Object->Ungroup, Shift-Ctrl-U). Now select the text and the calligraphic drawing and do the intersection.

Thanks, I tried what you said but I get this below after the intersection..:S. I have attached in this email the file with the two objects before doing the intersection. Javi

Hi Javi,
That is what I would expect you to see. Intersection leaves behind only the places where the paths cross each other; because you have a thin, widely spaced path on top you will be left with thin, widely spaced parts of the logo showing through.
If you look at the original tutorial again you'll notice that he uses a thicker path which densely covers the logo, to the point where very little of it shows through. The scribbled path marks the part of the logo that will remain, not the part that is removed.
If you would prefer to scribble the parts to remove, use Path > Difference rather than Intersect, though I think the original tutorial's approach is likely to give a better rubber stamp effect.
Regards,
Mark

Thanks Mark, now I have 15 objects of type Path in Layer1, when I try to union them, some of them disappear, why? I attach the file.

"Union" joins multiple paths into a single object. If one path is completely enclosed by another it will be absorbed into the larger path. In your case the outer circle encloses everything else, so doing a union results in just that outer path remaining.
What you probably want to do is to select both circles and use Path > Stroke to Path. This will turn each of them into a "doughnut" (or "donut" if you prefer the American spelling) with a very large hole in the center. Use the node editing tool before and after the conversion to see the difference. Now you should be able to union all the objects and give them a single fill with no stroke, rather than the mixture of filled and stroked objects that you have currently.
As an aside I can recommend the Inkscape user forum ( http://www.inkscapeforum.com) for these types of questions, where you will probably get a better cross-section of replies which may suggest other ways to approach your goal.
