There was an early post with this idea on an envelope for Jacqueline and it was one I really liked in the first set of envelopes with these stamps. Somehow, the letters in Renee's name didn't work out as well.
Then I tried it with Jessica's name and it's OK. I'm not happy with how the last name turned out. Jessica's name, challenging in its length, is very hit or miss on how successful it is. I always have fun with it. Too bad I don't have time to do 3 or 4 versions to always get a *hit.*
These two are pretty good. If I did them over, I would write MacKenzie a little larger so it went from edge to edge. Jeannette's is pretty good.
Mary's edge-to-edge is pretty good.
The red ribbon letters seem wimpy. They should have been bolder.
The wreath is overworked.
I forgot to do the light yellow green dots on Amy's
Maggie's was the first one of the second set and the red dots were wimpy so on the rest of them I switched to larger red dots that were not layered over the green.
After I did the first set of this style I thought the names wanted to be written in a circular wreath. It was much harder than I had anticipated. I have rough drafts of all these names but when I went to finals drafts I only did these two and then I switched back to something that I thought was going to work better.
There are two ways to do these - Jean's is written in a circle with the baseline at the center.
Janet's has the first name upright on the top - with the base line in the center and then switches the last name to having the baseline on the outside of the wreath.
Some letters - like the A - can be really easy in one direction and not so easy in the other directions. Look at the two As in Janet's name.
