    Summary

    I decided to make an Orthodox cross for the start of lent. I love how it turned out.

Brief overview:
I found a general image of a traditional Orthodox cross then imported it into Silhouette Design Studio. From there, I used the outline trace function to get the shape I wanted. I didn't like the font that was in that picture, so I traced a different picture that had the correct font I wanted (also done in Silhouette Studio). After my design was how I wanted, I imported it as an SVG into XCS. 

Read the steps for a detailed explanation :) I hope y'all enjoy! If you decide to do this project, PLEASE be sure to share it!
