Did you know that the font you use can set the tone of your writing? You can write the same sentence but use different fonts and the tone of your sentence will be perceived differently. Well, I must send so many mixed messages as I love to mix fonts! I love to use a mix of printing and writing, bold, large, messy wins out over small, neat perfect letters. I wonder what an analyst would say about me!
I am so glad that Stampin’ Up has started mixing up fonts so a bit more of my personality can come out on my cards. One of my favorite sets right now is Create with Friends, you have very bold solid and messy handwritten so you can mix them or use them individually.
I love the animal stamps that Stampin' Up has come out with lately and this sheep from Counting Sheep, a FREE Saleabration sets is right up my alley and chekc out how perfect he goes with the mix of fonts. I stamped the words using Versamark and then heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. Using Coastal Cabana and my blending brush added some ink to make those words pop.
And when you start making these fun cards, i hard to stop at just one!
Now onto Teri Wests blog and see what she has created for us.
