A Treasure Chest of Ornaments:
The elements on page 27 in our booklet are probably worth the price of the Americana CD all by themselves! It is hard to tell in this thumbnail of the page, but it has some of the most versatile parts and pieces in the collection. The pre-built panel at the top of the thumbnail should give you an idea.

In the example below, we selected just two small pieces and built a beautiful new panel for this page. We build the panels in Gerber's Omega program, but you should be able to build them in Illustrator, Corel Draw, or most sign making programs.

 
Once the initial shape is built using a vector based layout program, the panel can be sliced and extended to create an entire new look. Just for fun, I went back to the other elements on page 27 and tried out another top and bottom crest.
For the final example, we selected the main elements and gave them the appearance of etched glass. It is easy to imagine this panel as a glue-chipped glass project, but the design could cut in vinyl or finished off as a wonderful dimensional sign.
