I asked for and was given some files of split letters but they wouldn't open in MTC for some reason so I had to use my noggin and figure out how in the heck to get the letter to split. I got the K, in the regal font, up on my screen and then used the snipping tool to save the image. I then opened up Windows Paint and opened the image where I used the selection took to take out a chunk in the middle of the K. I saved the letter and then did a pixel trace in MTC and cleaned up the image and was able to split, join, break and all that good jazz until I got it how I wanted it. I know it seems like a lot of work and it probably was but now that I have it figured out I can likely do it a lot faster next time. Okay, there is no likely about it...I will be able to do it a lot faster!
I got a frame from the local bargain store for this project and looked for one that was a little elegant looking. I really wanted it to be matted as well and so I think I lucked out!
I will tell you that the first time I cut this I messed up. I read my ruler wrong and had it too tall and narrow, good thing I had plenty of vinyl! Oh and that is one reason I don't believe in buying vinyl in sheets...only rolls...always order rolls! After the first mess up I remeasured and got it right!I debated about putting the established in the middle of the letter with their names but then decided it looked better at the bottom.
The kids and I went to see my sister on Saturday and I took her this little gift and she absolutely loved it! Now I need to think of some other worthy couple's so I can make some more of these!
