Cut out the pattern.

Terra,

Do you still have the file for the celtic pattern used on the obelisk? Could you post it here. I want to try to print it using my vinyl cutter and try it.

I did a vinyl cut pattern the other day and tried it on pink foamboard and it workd amazing. Used black spraypaint and got beautiful sharp letters from it.

I am using a signcut program. Now I want to make it more elaborate with varying layers that can be etched out.

Next time I will take some pictures and post here.

Thanks
