    Default June Font Play

    Wow, June already! It's time for a new Font Play!

    This month I've chosen a font available for free from Font Squirrel.com called Great Vibes Great Vibes is a lovely script font and it is also available in an @font face kit so it can be used with Designer Pro X or Web Designer MX premium to create web pages!

    See the Font Play rules here and join in and have some fun!

    Here is one from me to start things off!

    Very nice font Frances, it looks good laid out as a quote as you've done.

    I had a quick go at this. It's a bit unoriginal in concept, sorry ... but it looks like the sort of font used on packaging for certain types of expensive chocolate.

    I also managed to sneak some Celebrated Burgeon Ornaments in there too.

    Regards

    That is one beautiful drawing, Su.

    When I saw the font, it reminded me of the many Indian Restaurants I've been to!

    I spent the afternoon out in the garden amongst the herbs and I got inspired I thought the Great Vibes font would be perfect for a box of mint tea!

    I wasn't aware you could actually grow Mint Tea?!

    Great looking leaves, Frances.

    Well you can grow mint, so maybe tea can be made from the leaves. Just guessing

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Yes mint tea is made from mint leaves and stems. The mint can be dried and crushed or the fresh sprigs of mint can be chopped and brewed right away.

    And Now to get back on topic, does anyone else have a font play to share? What uses can you dream up for this font?
