Pallet Sign

I didn't take my time with this project, and it shows!
I can't wait for a redo on this one. 

My problem was that I didn't have my sure cuts a lot program, and 
I was impatient, so I just used my cricut. So none of my letters turned out to be 
the size they should be. When I do my redo, I plan on making the words
almost the entire width of the boards.


I was trying to decide on paint colors.
I really wanted to use the yellow and tan, but the tan got much lighter on my lighter boards, and it barely showed.  And the yellow with black looked to much like Steelers colors. LOL 
So I went with red and black, and I don't like it much at all.


I cut out the letters with my cricut, and used the background as my stencil. 


I used the red to paint the letters 'Be The Good" to give it double meaning. 


I lightly sanded over the letters,
Attached some pip berries and a star up top and called it done.
 


 All hung up, until I replace it with a better one!


Don't think it's that bad?
Wait til you see the inspiration for this pic...then you will see why I don't care much for mine.
I need to do much fatter lettering.
