Silhouette forum April challenge

The silhouette forum http://s15.zetaboards.com/Silhouette_Plus/index/ has a challenge every month and this month I decided to take part. You learn a lot by these challenges.  This month's card challenge is take any letters from any font and weld and play with it to make a design from it and then make a card. I used Monterey BT font and used the letters c, v and z. I slanted/slewed them and elongated them and flipped and welded to make a frame and then placed other elements and made this card
I used print and cut feature for pattern including the wood pattern. Offset feature came in very very handy. I loved playing with letters this way. So many unique frame patterns can be made this way. I remember doing this on gypsy in the beginning when we had the old gypsy message board. Oh those fun days!.
