Hi! As promised a LO with a hand cut title. My first thought when I heard the challenge for this month was- what am I going to do? All the other ladies seemed to have various machinery they could dust off and use again but, I have never bought any machinery accept my sewing machine, which I use regularly. I thought about using some of my old stash but it didn't seem very exciting so instead I went for a technique I used to use all the time when I started scrapbooking. I had a collection of fonts on my computer that I downloaded from free sites and I would print out the titles for my LOs in whatever size I wanted and then trace them onto patterned paper and cut them out (tracing rather than printing directly onto the paper was a bit more economical with the patterned paper). Anyway it has been such a long time since I did this. We had updated our computer and all the fonts had been lost, so I had to download a few again. The font I chose to use was called Bounty and I printed the title off at font size 200! To update the look a bit I decided to overlap the letters and stitch through them. Hope you like it.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great reminder of that old alpha technique..I haven't done that for a while either!! LOVE LOVE the photo and those circles w dimension...I couldn't figure out what the "blue" was to the left of those 3 circles.. .so I enlarged it and realized it was the shadow from where those are sticking up!!
