Some Love for the {D}

I'm sure some of you will think I'm crazy, but...I {love} Detroit. It's a beautiful city ~ really, it is. There's amazing architecture, some seriously fantastic night life, awesome theater & orchestra, great restaurants, history at every turn and music on every corner... And I haven't even mentioned the fact that it is the {best} sports town you'll ever come across. (Yes...I'm biased...but it's totally true.)

With our Tigers in the play-offs and our Lions having a 4-0 (Now 5-0!) start to the season, and having just spent a weekend in the city with the hubband for our anniversary, I've had the {D} on my mind, and I wanted to bring something of the city into our home. So I came up with this...

First, I used my Silhouette and cut out the outline of the city's skyline. Then I found a perfectly-sized piece of scrap wood leftover from our bench project. I stained it with cherry stain and waited for it to dry.

Then I hit the board with a coat of ModPodge...because that's how I roll... ;)

I carefully placed the skyline on the board, making sure it was as straight & even as possible, and pressed down & out to get rid of any bubbles.

Another coat of MP on top was next...

After the MP dried, I hit it with a coat or 2 of clear spray paint to seal it.

Still not sure where it's going to go...but I have a few ideas for some other items to go along with it for a Detroit montage...
