My "second" papercut piece

So at my office I have been assigned to give life to the bulletin board right outside of our door. I'm really excited, this is my second shot at papercut. First time was in high school,  don't remember how that went, let's see what happens.

The use of the board will be to highlight the achievements made by our floor so far



Of course there are sketches to this  and how this may look.....I just can't find them at the moment
is all, but they have been reviewed/approved. But now it's much more different, I want to get really decorative with this (with enough room for the achievements nonetheless) and that suggestion has been approved as well.



So here are the tools of the trade: 
- X-acto with extra blades                         
 - 2 rulers and a right triangle 6''                 
- mechanical pencil (lightest you can get)
 - along with a mechanical eraser               
- a cheap house painting brush to sweep  
away eraser shavings
- white cotton gloves so that you may      
not stain your paper from the natural 
oils produced in our skin
- paper of your choosing, i'll provide the 
name for my paper later

What I'm doing is drawing all of the letters and patterns in reverse.
This way, there will be no need for erasing leaving a
cleaner finish along with minimizing dings and damage.

Get many different envelops for different words 
and designs, this will minimize confusion. 

These are the end results...
