Playing with a new kit I got

I like the 'broken background' look of this - that's some cool background paper and such a nice kit full of cute stuff. Word Art is spot on, too. Nice job.

Thanks Janice and whippet. The kits that G&T Designs do, all come with a selection of word art which is great because that's something I struggle with.

Some kits come with word art. Kits are as varied as designers. Some designers are really big into word art and provide a good selection, but I would say there is only a small amount of kits that come with word art.

Remember that fancy text is easy to create by clipping a background paper or photo to text and adding styles like shadows.  You can also select the text by clicking on the "t" in the text layer, opening a new layer above your text, and using a brush on it.  (Again - keeping things on their own layers allows for editing, moving, deleting those changes.)

 Doing the kind of word art where you combine different fonts and sizes is labor intensive but it is not difficult.  You just need to keep each word on its own layer so you can change font and size and move the words about. Once you get the look you want, link the words together so they can be moved as one.  I do not recommend merging the layers because then you cannot edit. However, if you are happy with your work and want to save your word art - merge the layers and save it as a png to preserve the transparency around the word art.

Remember, in order to merge text layers, the text layer needs to be simplified first.  And remember, once text is simplified, it is no longer editable.
