How easy was that? I LOVE techniques like this, they look great and are so quick to do! While it’s fun to try this technique out on fonts you already have in your arsenal, why not try them out on some of the fabulous alphas and alpha templates available in the Scrap Girls shop? Not to mention this works great with flat style embellishments and brushes as well!
