getting texty

Today’s card is a relatively quick and easy one I put together for the current Lawnscaping challenge, which is to use text in your creation.  I used nearly the entire Quinn’s ABCs alphabet set on this one.  The hardest and most time consuming part of it was getting the letters positioned the way I wanted them.  This is actually my second try.  The first time, I used a different color scheme and I had the letter “i” on the second line, and the card looked rather bland.  So I decided to shift the letters so that I could highlight the word “hi”, and I stamped the “missing u” message in a color that coordinated with the designer paper. I really wanted to leave more space between the “t” and the “v”, but there wasn’t enough space on the acrylic block to allow me to do that.

I still have my acrylic stamp block set up for this, so I think I’m going to make some more in different color schemes since Operation Write Home often needs “missing you” themed cards.
