Authentic Tiger Stadium Seats

My husband purchased a set of 4 Tiger Stadium seats. He had a wood base made and painted. They have been sitting in the family room and they needing a little something.
So...here is my first try at Vinyl with the Cricut and Gypsy! Wow, very thankful I have the gypsy, with all the changes I had to make. I had it all in Blackletter, then I needed to keep adjusting the size of the font. Being able to see it on the cutting mat before I cut, made all the diifference.

"Tiger Orange" Vinyl from http://www.ohmycrafts.com/
Medium pressure, Slow speed
Numbers cut at 3", Letters 4", "English D"  or  Blackletter 7"
My husband wanted a white shadow background.... maybe next time.

Tractor card

I just finished designing and cutting the card, now to put it all together. So happy I got my Gypsy for Christmas. If you have a Gypsy, I highly recommend "Use your Gypsy A to Z", from Above Rubies Studios. It is worth every penny!!
I used the Boys will be Boys cartridge, layers cut at 4.5"
