Name Board

My mom had this board that was used as our Family Home Evening Board for many years. I thought the shape was really great and wanted to make something new for her.

My mom really likes country blue so I painted and then distressed and stained it.

Next came the lettering. I used the Storybook cartridge for Borgersen and the swirl. The cursive was the Jasmin cartridge. The numbers were alphaliscious b/c I thought they were cuter than the plain print.
To apply the vinyl I took off the negative vinyl and then used clear contact paper as transfer paper. It worked really well and is less expensive than transfer paper. I used the card to be sure it stuck evenly to the contact paper and then to the board.
I L.O.V.E. how it turned out!
