text question

[misfitinmn]

What settings do you use if you want to use a font as part of your title and make it look like a sticker, kinda? Do you just add a stroke and call it a day, or do you add some texture to it? I feel like every time I try to do this, it looks terrible, so I thought I'd see what other people were doing!

I tend to duplicate the layer, add a stroke to the back layer along with a slight bevel set to wide, and add a teeny shadow to the front layer, giving it a bit of dimension.

I use an action I got from Atomic Cupcake years ago!!

But sometimes I just put marching ants around my text then expand it to say 15 pixels (or so), create a new layer and fill it with "not quite" white and then drag it below my text.

I do what Elizabeth does and then add a little noise to the white layer. Afterwards I add a very small shadow

I do what Elizabeth and Jessica do, except, instead of filling them I use papers to crop to the selection. Works especially well, if you prefer a rather grungy feel to your "stickers".

I do what Sula does.

I use an old AC action too, lol! She released it back when rub on's were super popular in the paper scrapping world and I don't know that she sells it anymore.

Also, instead of a stark black, bringing it down to a dark grey makes a big difference. A very slight shadow and I'm happy.
