Template: Circle of Friends
After reading Rita's tutorial on her blog, (http://blueflowerart.com/how-to-add-ligatures-to-your-wordart-in-3-easy-steps/ ) I knew that I had to give this challenge a try. I started out with the Template for the placement of my photo and elements. To work on the word art, I used the Font "Autumn Chant" for the title. I took one of the Ligatures and placed it over the swirl on the bottom the "S" lining them up as closely as possible. I took a small hard brush and brushed in pixels in the gaps between the text and the ligature. I then rasterized the type, and merged the layers. I erased any extra pixels from the ligature.
For the ligature on the bottom of the paper, I used the same grey paper as my background and clipped it to it.
