Hawaii

I really like this phrase. I started out with something else (always) and ended up with this one. I saw a similar design done with butterflies and wondered how it was done, so I went in to PS and figured it out.
You first type the phrase, duplicate it (why not?), rasterize the copy. Open another layer and do your brushes, scatter them. If you don't have PS, just do each one in individual layers until you like the way they look on the letters. Then collect all the brushes and 'glue' them together (Ctrol + E). Apply the Magic Wand tool on the brushes (make sure you got the whole image), then click on the word layer, click Ctrol + X, and that would erase the brushes image from your word. Save the whole thing as a .psd, then save it as a .png. Open the .png file and use any style you want on it.
This is about 4x12", 300 dpi, .png file, no shadows. I used font Jeepney and a style with a gradient. Cool, huh?
Use it in your personal projects. Try to make another one just for you!
Patricia.
