I was having a bit of a play with Nadine's lovely new crafter stitch dingbat font http://silhouetteuk.blogspot.co.uk/2...er-stitch.html and one thing led to another and before I knew where I was I had created a nice little circular mat. The text font is Exmouth. I have used some shaped mats and have created the ink borders by insetting several times. I shall send this to my daughter in law next month as it is flat for posting. Many thanks to Nadine for the stitch font. I am sure I shall use it in the more conventional manner in the future.
