Bigger Words, Words, Words

Yesterday's card showcased small words cut out and matted. Today's card features larger words cut out and popped up with dimensionals. The look is (surprise!) completely different.




Several differences between the two cards dictate the change in word's size and poppage. The focal point is visually heavy, dense, and colorful. The holly and branches and giant gingham bow are VERY different from the light and airy and glittery tree of yesterday's card. The words needed to balance that heavier focal point, and therefore had to be heavier (bigger). Popping them gave them some extra interest by creating shadows without cluttering up the design.



I hope those of you who were itchy about yesterday's card feel better about today's!

Mercy, grace, peace, and love,
Susan

  1. Simply beautiful. I so have trouble cutting those kind of messages straight.

  2. Love the card, but totally agree with Janet...getting all 3 of those words straight would be almost impossible for me! Do you have a secret as to how you lined them up?
