Hi Everyone, my DT post today is for
I cheated a bit on this one, as I had already done a slate heart, it was a present for my Niece. I had already made one each for my brothers and their wives. I don't usually give my nieces presents, but as we were seeing her over the holidays, I felt I had to, so this was the result, something for her house. I chose something to do with Wales for this, as she lives in England. I love doing things in the Welsh language. I can read it out loud, but not speak it, the shame of it. blushing!
I found this Welsh verse on the web and I designed it all in my Silhouette program, using the Daffodil our National flower and the Red Dragon from our flag. The images were cut and the verse from different coloured vinyl and attached it to the slate. Sounds easy doesn't it? It was a bit of a so and so to get it right. As you can see with the verse letters, they kept coming off with the vinyl and me reattaching them, it doesn't look too bad, but I wish they were straighter. Well! it makes it look rustic! 😉
I hope to see you in the Challenge, it lasts all month.
