mask - Make words-art in Inkscape — How can I cut the words out of a shape?

I want to create a word-cloud or you call a tag-cloud, but I have a problem cutting the words out of the shape that I want. Anyway, here's the demo word-cloud:

I want the yellow "DEMO" text to overlap the heart shape, and disappear when it goes out of the shape. Also, I want to keep the color of both the heart and the text. Is there any way to do that?

Answer

1. Convert text to path using Path-object to path


2. Ungroup text objects


3. Use path-combine on selected objects.


4. Duplicate the underlying object (the heart shape in your case)


5. Use path-division and delete the text which is outside the underlying shape as shown.
